How it works

Using Lewes Pounds is very simple:

  • Buy Lewes Pounds at issuing points
  • You can spend Lewes Pounds with any businesses and traders displaying the Lewes Pound sign. See also the list of traders under the Spend Lewes Pounds tab on the menu.
  • The best way to support the Lewes Pound and the community is to keep the Lewes Pound circulating. You can help to circulate Lewes Pounds by asking for and accepting them in your change, paying suppliers, employees, friends; and using them for your general shopping.
  • Five pence (5p) of every Lewes Pound issued is pledged to support Lewes by funding local projects. It will not be used to fund the Lewes Pound initiative.
  • Find fun and creative ways of spending Lewes Pounds for the benefit of Lewes.
