CamLETS enables members to exchange skills by means of a sophisticated barter system. You get things done for yourself by doing things for other people.

LETS stands for Local Exchange Trading System.

It is a way a community can trade skills, services or goods without needing or using real money. It's a bit like a barter system, but you don't have to do a direct swap - instead you use a local Complementary Currency.

With the internet revolution it's become clear that CamLETS would benefit hugely (in terms of costs and administration) by being online, so here we are!

We trade using a currency called CAMS.

We welcome members from all over the Cambridgeshire area and all kinds of skills are both valued and needed.

Why have a Local, Complementary Currency?

  • Enhance Your Prosperity
  • Build a Sustainable Community
  • Utilise Your Talents
  • Nurture the Unique Quality of Your Neighbourhood
  • Have Fun

Cambridge (UK) has had a
thriving LETS scheme
