Choosing to spend your money at local businesses instead of larger national and multi-national companies (or online) comes with many benefits – from helping the local economy and workforce right through to the positive environmental impact of spending local.
This Christmas set yourself a challenge of shopping locally for gifts and treats because Scotland’s high streets are home to so many different retailers and independent businesses that have everything you need.
Here’s just a few businesses you can support this Christmas.

At Sew Confident Dundee, the team is gearing up for their Autumn/Winter term of sewing and crafty classes for all abilities.
