Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.

 

The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

 

Did you know, 4490 businesses (around 97% of all businesses) in North East Lincolnshire are currently classed as micro and small businesses employing up to 49 staff each, with 4000 of those (around 87% of all businesses) classed as micro businesses, employing up to 9 staff.

 

The next Small Business Saturday takes place on 7 December 2024, and once again North East Lincolnshire Council is offering free parking in a number of its car parks across North East Lincolnshire on the day to encourage people to use town centre small businesses across the retail and hospitality sectors.

 

These car parks are:

 

·       Duchess Street, Grimsby

 

·       Garden Street, Grimsby

 

·       Town Hall, Grimsby

 

·       Garibaldi Street, Grimsby

 

·       Grant Street, Cleethorpes

 

Councillor Philip Jackson, Leader of the Council, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting this campaign again and recognise the great work of our independent businesses across North East Lincolnshire. Our small and local businesses are a vital part of the local economy.”

 

Small Business Saturday is a yearly campaign that takes place on the first Saturday in December each year. The campaign was created to support, promote and inspire small businesses across the country by encouraging consumers to shop local and support small businesses in their communities.
