Be Local, Buy Local
There are a number of real benefits to the community when you buy local. Your actions will help retain local businesses and services and support local jobs.
When you buy local, you'll be helping to shield St Helens from the effects of the recession, bringing lasting benefits to our community.
Your next purchases can support local businesses - please consider the local options first, whether it's your weekly food shop, a gift, a major purchase or the services of a builder, plumber or hairdresser.
Over 200 businesses have joined the Be Local campaign bringing benefits to the local economy.
Help your local shops, businesses and services, help retain jobs.
