On Saturday 5th December, our small businesses are counting on us more than ever to support them in this relentlessly challenging year. It’s Small Business Saturday, a campaign that is now in it’s eighth year. In 2019 the campaign estimated that £800m was spent in small businesses across the UK.
This Christmas is set to be like no other festive season in living memory and times are tough for many. But it’s also been a year that has seen us all value our independent, local shops, trades, restaurants, cafes and entertainment businesses more than ever. There has been an outpouring of love for these businesses that we previously took for granted as part of our routines, whether they were daily, weekly or for special occasions.
So this year, whether you can walk through the door of your favourite local business, or you can buy from them online, or you can support them by buying a voucher, we hope that we can play a small part in helping you, help them. Our goal is to make sure that those businesses we all love are still there on our high streets and in our communities when this is all over so we can enjoy the freedom to meet, greet, treat, gather and celebrate together once more.
