Welcome to the FSB's 'Keep Trade Local' Campaign - a grassroots campaign which is encouraging people to help save our communities and our local businesses. 

Small businesses are not just a part of the local community, they are the local community. They generate wealth employment and opportunity. Still, in towns and villages across the UK small businesses and local shops continue to face closure. Our high streets face extinction.

The UK economy is driven by small businesses. They make up 99% of all UK businesses; they are the engine for growth and job creation. The FSB’s Keep Trade Local campaign seeks to stem the tide of business closures, reverse the trend and defend the choice and diversity customers deserve.

The FSB’s Keep Trade Local Campaign is coming to London so turn up and show your support - your community needs you.
