How can you support local businesses?
Get out and about and discover what’s on your doorstep. Did you know that for every £1 you spend locally, 50-70p of it goes back into that community to support businesses and jobs? Our high streets and neighbourhood shops have been the backbone of our communities during these difficult last few years and now’s the time to continue to show our support by shopping local and enjoying what they have to offer.
Rediscover, or explore our neighbourhoods for the first time and find quality and choice right on your doorstep. Grab yourself fresh, unique and locally made products which have a low carbon footprint, so you’ll not only be helping the businesses but the environment too. Go one step further and ditch the car to get there and walk to your neighbouring high street or jump on your bike or nearest Metro or bus. Don’t forget to share your love for your local on socials and shout about them to friends and family. Together We Are Newcastle!
