Over twenty shops in and around Richmond are taking part in The Magic Tenner campaign which runs from 7th-21st October, in an initiative organised by Totally Locally.

They are:

• BB in Finkle
• Berber Leather
• Capelli Hairdressing
• Gone Barking
• Goosewing Studios
• Granny's Kitchen
• King Street Kitchen & Gift
• Kiss the Moon
• Larches of Richmond
• Lucy Pittaway
• Neeps & Tatties
• Pink Sundays
• Richmond Information Centre
• Sip Coffee
• Strolling4Shoes
• Tasty Macs
• The Cheese Press
• The Green Howards Museum Shop
• The Little Dress Shop
• The Men’s Room Barbers
• The Station
• The Traveller's Rest, Skeeby

They will be offering fantastic £10 deals to encourage people into independent shops and to give a boost to the local economy.

That boost is much bigger than just the £10 spent because most independent businesses buy from many other local businesses. This means when you spend £10 with one, it enables them to keep buying from those suppliers. Buying online, or at the big national chains and supermarkets has a much smaller effect, as most (or all) of the money leaves the local economy.

Alongside the superb £10 offers, shops will be displaying posters showing how many local suppliers they have, to emphasise how supporting one local business supports many others.

This circular effect is backed up by The New Economics Foundation, whose study found that £10 spent in a local independent business means up to £50 goes back into the local economy due to it being re-spent over and over.

All independent businesses in Richmond are invited to join in with the Magic Tenner event. For more information and to get your posters and promotional kit, contact: info@originalrichmond.co.uk
