There have been many challenges for the high street over the last year, and one organisation aiming to help local businesses is Meanwhile In Oxfordshire - connecting local social enterprises, charities, and companies with suitable vacant premises.
If you're looking for Christmas gifts, some that might be of interest are the Orinoco Scrapstore in Banbury, which offers a treasure trove of tools, materials, and inspiration - and no fewer than four pop-up shops in the Covered Market.
Headington Fairtrade, (selling sustainable and fairtrade food, clothing, and gifts), Y.O.U Underwear (ethical and sustainable undergarments, plus stocking fillers and gifts made locally to Oxford), Ducky Zebra (colourful clothes for children, made from organic cotton) and The Woolhound (knitting and craft supplies) are all open for business. Catch them while you can!
