SHOP LOCAL!
FEEL GOOD! By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY “Shop Local” is a concept we can’t push hard enough this Christmas. The world has been king hit by Covid and the Dubbo region was not untouched. One way we can take care of our city’s recovery is keeping our money in the ‘family’, so-to-speak, because if we do that, we help local businesses stay open and potentially create more local jobs. Beyond Blue says not having a job, or enough work, can affect mental wellbeing and impact physical health, relationships and sense of identity. These are all very good reasons to shop local if it means keeping our community strong. According to a 2019 report compiled by the Australian
Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, 98 per cent of businesses in Australia are small businesses. On top of that, small businesses pay the most tax and employ the most people – perhaps even you. As we step into December and make our final preparations for Christmas, use Dubbo Photo News as a handy resource for local ideas. Especially browse our annual A-Z of Christmas special feature – inside today. Remember too, please shop sustainably.
