| How should we show up for our queer community in Lewisham? A key way is to empower and support their projects and enterprises by shopping at their small businesses. It is important to acknowledge that LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs have battled with a long history of economic and social exclusion, and it is the duty of the entire community to combat these injustices. What easier way to do this than to be conscious about where we spend our money? Each of us have spending power which, together, dictates the wellbeing of local businesses around us and, consecutively, the whole of our Borough. We have made this even more accessible by compiling a list of featured queer businesses that you can shop in using your Lewisham Local Card. And psst… your social responsibility will also get you a cheaper deal! Choose to spend responsibly… and queerly!
