Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday, taking place on 7 December for the first time in the UK, is a day to celebrate and promote small businesses across the UK.

Small businesses in Manchester are encouraged to take part by offering some kind of promotion for the day, to encourage Manchester residents to shop local – both on this day and beyond.

To show your support and for more information, go to www.facebook.com/smallbusinesssaturdayuk and follow the campaign on Twitter @SmallBizSatUk
