Join our Enterprise Resource Bank

TTL Enterprise Group is building an Enterprise Resource Bank - a database of skills and resources across Lewes that could be of value to people setting up or running their own enterprise.
 
The Enterprise Group is focused on supporting transition enterprises that are meeting local needs for food, goods and energy in a low-carbon, low-impact way.

We want to hear from you if:
- You have any business, coaching, or other professional skills (eg accounting, sales/marketing, internet, business planning) that you are willing to share with young businesses.
- You are seeking to cost-share resources such as premises, land, transport, machinery or bulk-buy materials.
- You want to invest in young transition enterprises in the Lewes area.
 
Whatever your resources or skills, email us with your details
Please indicate where you are willing to volunteer services and where payment/reciprocity would be preferred.

The Lewes Pound Spring Cashback

...A way to increase circulation of The Lewes Pound
 
Here in Lewes we all need to do our bit to help local businesses. From 20th April you can show your support - and be rewarded for your efforts - by taking part in The Lewes Pound Spring Cashback.  At selected shops in Lewes you'll be given "free" Lewes Pounds when you spend over a minimum amount.
 
There's a fantastic range of products to choose from: from basic essentials to books, bags, CDs, and jewellery and accessories.  You can pay with card or cash - and you can spend your free Lewes Pounds at any of the independent traders who take them.
 
The shops taking part in the Cashback are: Lansdown Health Foods on Cliffe High Street, Skylark in the Needlemakers, TwinkleTwinkle (and Twinkle Toes) on Market Street, Laporte’s in Lansdown Place and Shimalinon School Hill. If the trial is a success, there are plans to roll out the scheme to the whole of Lewes.

There has been a wave of publicity this year about local currencies being launched in Bristol and Brixton. Could the tide be turning as people see the need to protect their high streets from invasion by the chain stores? So shop local, get your free Cashback – and help Lewes flourish!  More information on the Lewes Pound website...

Transition Town Lewes (TTL)  is a network of Lewes people. We’re working on local solutions in response to the global problems of climate change, economic change and the end of cheap energy and other resources. 

Please get in touch if you would like to meet some of the people involved in project work for TTL.

And don't forget to subscribe to the TTL monthly newsletter to keep up to date with our news and events.

Transition is about the creation of resilient communities. It's not about campaigning but designing. It's about putting in place systems that will help us to deal with the big changes that are on the way. Those changes will be in three main areas: energy, the economy and the environment.
