Beaches LETS is modelled on similar systems all over Australia.

LETS is a non-profit community exchange/trading system for sharing skills and services.

LETS is based on the idea that all people have valuable skills and services to share with their community, whether they are under-employed, self employed, elderly,currently unemployed, or retired.

LETS creates employment. A participant is able to get those neglected jobs done, help other participants in need, and make use of the communities true wealth - the skills and services of the people, without the use of money.

HOW DOES LETS WORK?

Mary is a computer operator & she wants a participant to mow her lawn..
George will mow her lawn. Mary gives him a LETS transfer slip which he mails to the PO Box to update his LETS ‘Record of Activity‘.

George wants a haircut. Jill cuts his hair. She wants gardening, which she gets from John, who needs house cleaning. This is how everyone can share their skills & help others.

Beaches LETS uses the term "SHELLS" to describe their units/points. Each participant can help others & receive (Shells) to use in sharing with other participants.

A debit in (Shells) is simply an acknowledgment that the participant has received goods & services from another participant & has made a commitment to return goods &/or services to the same value to other participants.
