Support Local Business

Now is the time that local businesses need your custom, from the homewares shops, to the clothes stores, gifts, even the gyms and pubs. Also the hairdressers that have been shut for so long, all of these places need support for their staff. If you don’t require anything from them right now then how about sharing one of their posts on social media, a like or comment.

There are many ways to support local businesses.
