I saw in the December issue of WyeLocal that this is the tenth anniversary of the start of Hay Vouchers. These are gift vouchers for use in local businesses in Hay, and they've been a great success!
They are administered through Pughs at Londis, and in the ten years the scheme has been running, they've sold an amazing £75,000 worth of vouchers, which can be spent in 113 businesses in Hay. Some have even been sold to collectors around the world.
This keeps money circulating within the local economy, instead of being spent at national retailers or online and disappearing from the local economy.
The vouchers can be used just like cash, and then the business redeems the money for them from Pughs.
