* JUST A CARD - INDIE WEEK (25 -29 November) 2019
Last year record It was awe-inspiring - record numbers of people, in the UK and abroad toogot together to share the campaign and celebrate small business, indie sellers and designer-makers. Among so many successes from the week - being featured on major news outlets such as the Guardian and BBC being a massive highlight! So, we really hope you’re up to the challenge to make it EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER this year as we’re planning to do it all over again!
The aim of the week is to encourage people to support, value and buy from to small businesses, independent shops, artists, designers and makers. Everyone is invited to be part of this, whether you’re an independent yourself or simply value and love them. Our campaign is starting the conversation. There are no rules. Simply join in as you see fit. * calling on you to champion the cause and share your own small business stories – whether you’re a designer/maker, gallery/shop owner or you love to shop independent.
