Here are some great tips on how you too can support local businesses from home, often for free.

Check out our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn for our latest updates as well as our family update page for regional updates

 

 

1. Local at-home activities

Many local businesses have produced their own materials/resources/activities for home learning and entertainment - see the (regional) list that we have compiled here.

2. Use your social media channels  

Many local businesses, regardless of their open/closed status are still using their social media channels to promote services they can still offer, livestreams and online events, resources that can be used at home and more.  

 

You can make sure that you do not miss updates from your favourite local businesses on Facebook by adjusting your Facebook News Feed preferences so that you get alerts.  Find out more about how to do this here:
