Starting to panic about Christmas, finding the right present, being on a budget? You are not alone. However, no need to worry. The Brixton Pound is here to help remove all this stress from your festive season. ‘But how!?‘ I hear you say…
Brixton Pounds make perfect gifts for all the family, friends and colleagues. They are in fact vouchers which you can spend in some 200 independent businesses, amongst them: great eateries, pubs and cafes, numerous gift shops, complementary therapy centres, second hand shops, books stores, a well established shoe shop, and of course Morley’s department store!
B£s make not only extremely practical gifts, but also very beautiful ones – after all who wouldn’t want to flash a Bowie or a Szabo every now and then? Or maybe a Len or a Deng? To get hold of these beauties, simply visit one of the B£ issuing points. Or for those with a particular predilection for all things collectable, these lovelies are also available as collector packs, which can be ordered online, and which also make for interesting gifts.
By giving Brixton Pounds as a gift this Christmas, you can also avoid embarrassing moments and ensure your loved ones get something they truly like, indeed with such a variety of participating businesses, they will be spoilt for choice. Of course if you actually enjoy going on the hunt for something unique, then why not check out all those independent businesses yourself, B£s at the ready of course!
And beyond simplicity, practicality and flexibility, in case you needed one more reason for giving B£s as gifts this Christmas… just think of our great independent businesses, and the support you will show them. Think of our local area and how much it needs those independent businesses, in order to remain a buzzing and thriving place for us all to enjoy. And by the way, have you seen how beautiful our second edition notes are? Ah yes, I may have said that…

Happy New Year everyone, we hope 2012 brings health, happiness and prosperity to all.
Kaff's cool counter's mural
So with Christmas now really and truly out of the way…well we decided to postpone our Christmas party until mid-January when we thought we would be in serious need of cheering up. But let’s just remove the ‘Christmas’ and focus on the ‘party’!
We hope you and your friends and loved ones can join us on the night, Thu 19th January from 6:30pm at Kaff Bar.
Kaff Bar are both on our paper and electronic currency schemes, so plenty chance to play with your phones on the night.
There will be DJs and some finger food, and more importantly a great crowd of Brixton residents and businesses to socialise and network with. We shall also be at hand to sign up any newbies onto our amazing Pay by Text service, for which you get a 10% automatically added to your account every time you top it up.
Other than that, it’ll be an informal evening of drinks, nibbles, chats and DJ’s spinning their tunes.
We look forward to seeing you then!
