Leisure bank in Degerfors municipality

The projects aim to establish a leisure bank in Degerfors municipality. The leisure bank is like a library but with sports and outdoor equipment. Here, anyone can borrow used equipment for free, which gives more people the opportunity to live an active life. Here, you can borrow equipment for an active leisure time, such as skis, ice skates, inline skates, life jackets, tents, balls of various kinds, clubs, fishing rods, soccer shoes, helmets, camping stoves, and much more. The loan period for equipment is 14 days. It is completely free to borrow from the leisure bank, and there are no deposit or late fees. Currently, there are no opportunities to easily and smoothly borrow sports, leisure, or hobby equipment in the municipality. The goal of starting a leisure bank in Degerfors is for more people, regardless of socioeconomic status, to be able to live an active life. The leisure bank will be a way to encourage increased interest in sports and movement for those who live in or visit our municipality. Starting a leisure bank is a good and proven way to give more people the chance to try sports without it costing anything. In a time of increased sedentary behavior, the leisure bank can help make it easy to move and try different activities. Expensive equipment should not be a barrier. The reuse of outdoor and sports items aligns well with the social, economic, and environmental profile of long-term sustainability that Degerfors municipality strives for.
