You can hear the story of ‘The Four Brothers - the legend of the Seething Pasty’ at the Village Fête. 4 5 Kingston Pound Local money invested in our local community Kingston Pound came out of the involvement with other initiatives such as the Surbiton Food Festival and the availability of Surrey Save Credit Union in the Kingston Borough. Also, the involvement with other initiatives linked to permaculture and the efficient use of resources. So all of these things promote the idea of ‘well-being’ and strong community spirit. Developing a local currency taps into this and links it to business and the local economy. When we spend money on the high street 80% will leave the local area immediately and so Kingston Pound will help keep it circulating within the borough. If done at scale it must have an economic impact. That is good for local independent businesses, good for jobs and good for the community. It makes sense to trial Kingston Pound at the Surbiton Food Festival because this is where the idea was originally devised during the autumn of 2012. If you want to join the trial as a business or visitor please contact us [email protected] or seek out our stall. www.kingstonpound.org Recently refurbished, come and relax in our lovely new outdoor area with deck and patio garden, or enjoy some live music on the weekend.
