The Lewisham Local Card is an initiative to encourage local businesses to value the contribution volunteers give in the local community by offering discounts and rewards. The scheme has existed since 2016 and has steadily grown over time reaching 5,000 volunteer cardholders earlier this Summer. We are delighted to announce we have recently passed a new milestone… Over 400 independent local businesses now offer a discount to Lewisham volunteers, encouraging them to continue investing in the community through their contribution. Many of these businesses have decided to give back in other ways including our Community Toilets scheme, and Refill Lewisham, where businesses offer free water refills to help reduce single-use plastics in Lewisham.
