"I love the facility of being able to call on reliable people to help out with DIY tasks. Many hands make light work. Trading events are a great way to re-use and re-purpose items too." Andy S.
"Having a supportive network of people and friends to call on." Carol S.
"Having recently moved to the area, I joined the LETS group to meet like-minded people and connect with my local community. I have been really impressed with the open friendliness of members and excited by the many possibilities for earning and spending 'Scumpys', often while doing things I really love. Definitely a win-win! Freja S.
"Having people to help with jobs, especially in an emergency." Zena M.
"I was quite sceptical about joining LETS as I couldn't imagine what I might offer. However after going to a few very sociable meetings I soon found that anything I did in my daily life was also something that others might find useful. 40 years later I am still enjoying the great friendships I have made and the satisfaction of exchanging my skills and knowledge without exchanging cash." Clive B.
"The welcoming, kind, skilled and really interesting LETS members. I enjoy supporting and being part of an ethical fair-trading system which could become essential for communities in the future."" Annie Y.
"I thoroughly enjoy events at members' homes, joining in activities such as crafts, games and lunches." Ann B.
"The people and feeling of community." Angie B.
"The people - many have been with us for decades." John G.
" I have appreciated members helping me with some house maintenance and gardening. Enjoyed good food and excellent company at recent curry lunches as well as wonderful summertime cream teas and a BBQ." Rainer W.
