Buy Local Christmas campaign AFTER a devastating year for high street businesses, Sheffield City Council has launched Its Make Yourself at Home for Christmas campaign giving people lots of ideas on how to support Sheffield businesses this festive season. The phrase ‘use it or lose it’ has never been more important as businesses prepare for the crunch period in the run up to Christmas. The ripple effect of just one property closure can be far reaching as local businesses are not just employers, but also customers of other local businesses. Recent research shows that for every £1 spent with local businesses, around 50p remains in the local economy; spend that same £1 with online giants or major chains, and only around 5p filters back. Make Yourself at Home at Christmas seeks to share all the fantastic local produce, bespoke items and experiences from Sheffield’s creative businesses on one online resource www.welcometosheffield. co.uk/makeyourselfathome, with ideas and experiences being added regularly.
Councillor Andy Bainbridge, Labour councillor for East Ecclesfield, said: “As we move into Tier Three and shops can reopen, this is a fantastic opportunity for people to get their gifts from their local high street and make a difference to businesses who have really struggled this year. “Our retailers have worked hard to make their businesses Covidsecure, so please remember to stay safe while shopping by respecting social distancing, wearing a face covering and regularly cleaning your hands.” Cllr Bainbridge has visited businesses in his ward to see what messages they’d like to share in the run up to the festive season. Brad Smith, owner of Greek Wraps, said: “The majority of our customers tend to be from the local area and we’ve really felt the commu- We’re still here, so please do carry nity pull together this year to sup- on visiting us.” port us and other businesses.
