Supporting local small businesses

Supporting local small businesses

In support of Small Business Saturday (5 December) and the Shop Local campaign all year round, here's a handy guide to some local small businesses and ideas for festive gifts:Support local businesses this Christmas.pdf [pdf] 634KB

We reached out to our enterprise network and produced this directory to help if you'd like to shop for presents or treat yourself, and support local businesses at the same time.

Small Business Saturday UK is a grass-roots, non-political, non-commercial campaign. It encourages us to support and promote small businesses in our communities this Saturday, especially important during the pandemic, and at other times.

Buying local:

  • boosts the local economy;
  • employs local people and protects jobs;
  • offers unique and often handmade gifts, with good deals;
  • reduces our carbon footprint;  
  • strengthens communities and local character.

Happy shopping.
