I've often said that running the shop is like being part of a movement. Many lament the loss of variety on our High Streets and manufacturing in the UK, but we can all do something about it.
There is an alternative to large chains putting profits before people. It’s been a tough couple of years for independent High Street cafes, pubs, restaurants and retailers. Vote with your money this Christmas. Spend your money in those colourful, vibrant businesses that help to make the world a better place.
