Editors Welcome Christmas is a time for family and friends and lots of joy and cheer. However, we are still in the midst of a pandemic which has adversely affected our way of life and how we celebrate this year. We encourage you to lift your spirits and do what you can to ensure that Christmas is celebrated with your loved ones. We are especially concerned about our black owned businesses. Many have ceased trading whilst others have had to significantly adjust how they trade and find creative ways to deliver their products and services. The Voice Christmas Gift Guide is aimed at shining a spotlight on some of our businesses who continue to trade, despite the odds. Please support them during this season and beyond. We also ask that you share this publication across your networks to garner support for them. The team at the Voice Media Group wishes you, your family, and friends all the very best for the season.
