What is LETS?
LETS is a system for local people to trade goods and services without using money.

It's a not-for-profit, community-based organisation, with members offering services and goods such as:

DIY, music lessons, alternative therapies, gardening, loan of tools and equipment, computing, cooking, giving lifts, allotment vegetables, dog-walking, sewing and lots more. See the Inspiration page on the left to get an idea of what can be traded on the scheme.

Want to enrol?
Pop along to the comfortable surroundings of the Hornbeam Cafe 10.30am - 12noon on the last Saturday of every month to find out about Waltham Forest LETS - the next one is Sat 29 April.

Next event: LETS FORAGE! Sun 20 May
Join LETS members on a guided tour of Walthamstow Marshes pausing to identify edible wild foods, that we encounter along the way. Bring a friend. More information.



Problems with the online trading system
Instructions on how to use the online trading system can be found on the Help page.

Are you trading?
Remember, you don't need to build up a credit before you begin trading - Beams aren't in limited supply and you don't pay interest.

In fact if you wait until you have Beams in your account you could be waiting a while as other members may be doing the same thing. So go on, get trading and if you don't have very much time to offer services maybe there's something you could sell or loan (see the 'For loan' and 'For sale' categories under 'Offerings' in the members area).

Join up a friend and earn 5 beams!
Introduce a friend to Waltham Forest LETS and we will give you 5 Beams. Just ask them to write your name on the enrolment form when they fill it in.
