Choosing to spend locally also allows money to be put back into the local economy, which means you are helping support investment
in your local community. Thriving businesses in your area will find ways to give back, such as through sponsorships and local events.
Shop Local online
There are many artisans and entrepreneurs in the Richmond upon Thames who rely on local business to keep going and this can
extend online. Many local businesses have websites; simple changes in online shopping habits can make all the difference to the
shops on your high street.
Shopping locally also means enjoying, sharing information and supporting small businesses in your area. Sharing your recent
treasures and finds on social media, using the hashtag #RichmondShopsLocal connects you with other lovers of local businesses and
helps grow the community surrounding this movement.
The perfect way to get to know people and discover new places you love
Making a point of shopping locally and showing your support throughout the year will transform your community. Instead of waiting
until Small Business Saturday to stop by a local business, go today to uncover your new favourite places across our borough.
We hope you find this directory useful and that it will help you discover independent and green businesses all over the borough.
