We, Shop Local UK Org, are on a mission to encourage more people to shop local and to save our local communities. Our social movement is to save our local shops nationally, not just regionally, and we do this by creating one central messaging – Shop Local. Save Our Community.

The truth is, if everybody shopped more locally, focused less on the major national supermarkets and online giants (most of which pay little or no UK income tax), then this would be the answer to not just helping small, local businesses stay in business but also to save the high streets. The best part is that it’s from within our communities and without the aid of government handouts.

We won’t stop until Shop Local UK Org becomes a household name. We genuinely believe that if we, as a country, act now by spending more money locally, then our communities can still be revived. The question now is, will you join us?

• A community initiative to promote local businesses with the aim to ensure the British high street survives and prospers.
• A local (potentially national) media campaign where driving consumers to shop local is its key objective.
• An initiative that not only raises awareness of shops based in the local community but one that also gives back to the community via charities.  

• Become part of a local and national media campaign raising awareness of the plight of the British High Street and the need for consumers to shop local.
• See an increase in footfall in your store following both the media coverage and brand recognition of Shop Local UK Org branding through signage and merchandise.
• Benefit from the positive impact of a social media campaign.
• Easy access to an extensive range of signage and promotion merchandise that is designed to be eye-catching, informative and affordable.
• Giving back to your local community as everything purchased from Shop Local UK Org donates 5% to charities. Furthermore, donation points are encouraged in store of all Shop Local UK Org clients.  

• Easy! By choosing to shop at your local stores or independent retailers up and down the country. The less you spend at the major national supermarket chains means more of your money that earn and spend goes back into your community – £3.85 for every £10, in fact. You are not so much as helping Shop Local UK Org as you are helping yourself, your family, your local shops and your local community.
• By spreading the word. Tell your family and friends, your neighbours, and post to your socials – all of this helps in a massive way.
• Wear a Shop Local UK Org t-shirt (or another one of our products). Nothing sparks a conversation or states your position or views than a t-shirt worn with pride.
• See our range of our Shop Local UK Org products in our shop. Our merchandise includes adult and youth t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, aprons, mugs and more.
• Start your own shop local campaign and let us help you with our signage and merchandise which can be purchased on a wholesale pricing level for resale, or on a commission basis.
