The Lewes Pound

The Lewes Pound encourages demand for local goods and services. In turn this helps build resilience to the rising costs of energy, transport and food. The Lewes Pound is a complementary currency intended to be used alongside pounds Sterling. The Lewes Pound:

• Supports local traders

• Keeps money circulating in the Lewes economy

• Helps to cut CO2 emissions
  
  

Latest update

Many more Lewes Pounds available now from the Issuing Points

As a result of overwhelming enthusiasm for the Lewes Pound we have produced more to cater for demand.

We had seen an unexpected run on Lewes Pounds as people had bought them to use locally and then become so attached to them that they are keeping them as mementos, sending them to friends, or even selling them on eBay.

Now that the excitement has died down, and with the new Pounds filtering out through the issuing points and traders, we are beginning to see them circulating again. Look out for offers from traders and also, we will shortly be posting 3 winning numbers on this site for some prizes from Harveys Brewery. So keep an eye on the serial numbers; you might find that your Pound is worth a little more than you thought!
