In 2008 the Brixton Pound was launched in the face of the financial crisis. The world’s first complimentary local currency in a major urban area proved that money can stick to Brixton. It encouraged local trade, supported independent businesses and built a human-scale circular economy.

In the decade that followed we did a lot of learning and some innovating. We funded a micro-grant-giving scheme, opened a pay-what-you-can veggie/vegan café using only surplus food, and ran a local lottery.

But what our communities are facing now makes 2008 look like a warm-up. And local currency has never been more needed.
