👏 We absolutely love seeing initiatives like this bringing our local business community together!

The campaign is a brilliant reminder that supporting local doesn’t have to mean spending big. Sometimes it’s as simple as choosing an independent business, spending £5 and sharing a post to help spread the word.

Those small actions can make a huge difference, helping local businesses gain visibility, attract new customers and build connections within our community.

As a Chamber, we’re passionate about championing local businesses of all sizes and encouraging everyone to think local, shop local and support independent businesses wherever possible.

So, who’s taking part this week? Let’s keep the momentum going and show our local independents just how much we value them! ❤️

Small actions. Big difference. Stronger local businesses.

A new campaign is encouraging people in Weymouth to spend just £5 a week with independent businesses in a bid to boost the local economy.

A great opportunity for anyone thinking of starting a business or looking for financial guidance. Well worth attending for FREE, friendly, expert advice!

A fantastic initiative supporting local businesses in Weymouth. 👏

WE'RE BACK!

Our 2nd FREE Business & Financial Drop In Clinic

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own business? Perhaps you've thought about becoming your own boss but aren't quite sure where to begin?

Well, why not come and have a chat with us?

📅 Monday 2nd November
⏰ 11am – 1pm
📍 Starfish Enterprise Hub, Weymouth
💰 Completely FREE!

I'll be back offering free, friendly advice on starting and running your own business, from choosing the right business structure to understanding your accounts, tax and finances.

I'll also be joined by Nick from Nicholas Carroll & Financial Associates who will be on hand to discuss ways to build a more secure financial future, whether that's through pensions, ISAs or other investment options.

You'll also have the opportunity to look around the fantastic co-working space at The Starfish Enterprise Co-work Hub. which is part of the WADT. This modern, welcoming space has been developed to support local businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups. It's a brilliant environment for anyone looking to take that next step.

Why are we doing this?

Because we believe in Weymouth.

We want to see our town, its people and its businesses prosper and thrive.

We know there are people out there with brilliant ideas, ambitions and dreams who perhaps just need a little encouragement, some guidance or someone to point them in the right direction.

If giving up a couple of hours of our time and sharing our knowledge for free helps even one person take that first step towards building something of their own, then it's absolutely worth it.

As the saying goes, "You don't have to be great to start but you do have to start to be great!"

So why not pop down for a coffee and a friendly, informal chat? No pressure, no obligation and absolutely no charge.

We're here to help the people of Weymouth and beyond and we'd love to see you there!

Please share this with anyone who's ever mentioned wanting to start their own business. You never know whose journey you might help kick-start.
