Aid local businesses by helping to #raisethebar ⭐

The Uk's Retail, Hospitality and Leisure sectors are at risk - but we can help! Read more below:

In the UK, the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors are worth around £635bn!? Currently the business grant threshold to help support the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure sector is set at £51k – which simply isn’t good enough to help local business survival through COVID -19.

We’re supporting the Raise the Bar campaign to push that threshold past £51k to 150k in order to support other crucial – local business’ survive (For full transparency - We have already received ours as we are under the 51k mark – nothing to be gained from us). Amending the current standing threshold could “save countless business and jobs across the nation.” – The Harborne Village BID, after the set national campaign was investigated by the Croydon BID.

Reportedly, an open letter has been written to the current Secretatry of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – Requesting for the Threshold be raised. Said request is to be “supported by a number of industry leaders and businesses and will, for most, offer the single biggest difference in their commercial fight against this global crisis” (Harborne BID).

As a local business in Harborne – We want to support this momentous effort to support other business’ by getting anyone to sign the petition on Change.org as this will make the biggest difference to the weight of the request. Together we can save local businesses.
