Our small businesses need us: by shopping small we can support our incredible small businesses and contribute to the local economy.

Now in its 10th year in the UK, Small Business Saturday will return on 3rd December 2022 with a mission to support and celebrate the UK’s 5.6 million small businesses, particularly as they face mounting economic challenges over the winter. 

On Small Business Saturday customers across the UK go out and support all types of small businesses, from independent shops and restaurants to small service and b2b based businesses like accountants and digital marketeers. Many small businesses also take an active role in promoting the day by hosting events and offering promotions. 

Over the ten years the campaign has run in the UK it has engaged millions each year, with spend on the day topping over £1 billion. Last year the campaign trended at number one in the UK on Twitter, with the Prime Minister, leader of the opposition and the Mayor of London among those publicly supporting the campaign. Over 90% of local councils also supported the campaign.
