Spend locally and make a big impact. When you shop at local businesses, almost 70% of your money goes back into the community, boosting the local economy. This keeps the pound circulating up to 5 times, benefiting businesses and essential local services. Your choice increases the velocity of local money, creating a stronger and more vibrant community for you, your family and friends.

In today’s Battle for our high streets and local economies, The Big Box Retailers are currently winning, by extracting a large disproportionate percentage of our local economy’s resources and wealth while at the same time giving very little back. Their actions are simultaneously destroying the velocity of local money on our high streets and local economy when they continuously spend almost 70% of the money they earn elsewhere.

The harrowing destruction and devastation inflicted upon our high streets and local economies is painfully evident. This grim reality emerges when money flows towards online behemoths like Amazon, eBay, and distant strangers who conveniently evade local and UK taxes. Online giants relentlessly drain 100% of the money and prosperity from our local economies, contributing absolutely NOTHING in return.
