Don't Cook - Won't Cook Challenge!

You could do it over a few weeks, months or a year (depending on how many there are in your local area). You could even get together with a few friends or neighbours and turn it into a social occasion. This small thing can make a huge difference to a local business and its staff.

Some cafe and restaurant owners sell vouchers and gift cards so consider buying for friends or family as a gift. 

Easy ways you can support a local restaurant or cafe:

1. If you are arranging a party or get-together, ask a local business to do the catering.
2. Family lunch? Order from a local restaurant or cafe, they will really appreciate it and it means less work for you!
3. Buy a birthday cake from a local business.
4. Buy a takeaway coffee & muffin and go and sit in the park with friends for a catch up.
5. Breakfast on the run? Skip the fast food places and grab a local takeaway instead.
6. Working from home? Schedule a meeting at your local cafe. Or if you fancy a change of scenery from your four walls, treat yourself to breakfast, brunch or lunch and work from a cafe for a couple of hours.
7. Had a great experience? Leave a review on Google Business, share your experience on Facebook or if you're a bit old school, tell people IRL (in-real-life!).
