They are basically a local gift voucher. PS – by being linked to sterling I mean that the only way to get hold of some Lewes Pounds is to purchase them with sterling.

Jct: it is not in any way linked to time. It works like Berkshares. Its a nice first step towards more radical/ empowering community/ complementary currencies, and helps raise awareness of some important issues, but being linked to sterling doesn't actually generate and new currency for the local economy (it merely helps circulate a small portion of the money in the area around the local economy a little bit more before it is traded back into sterling and leaves again). Still, great work in my opinion. The donate button doesn’t appear to be working.
