OurPledge

OurPledge is working to make it possible to #PledgeAPurchase to local shops and small businesses. If you know one that needs help please email rachael@ourpledge.co.uk. In the meantime, why not call your local pub, shop, restaurant, theatre or other business and ask if they will accept payment now for something you can collect further down the line once this is all over - should they need it. Ideas so far include:

1. • • • #pledgeapint (pubs)

       • #pledgeaplate (restaurants)

       • #pledgeaplant (gardencentres)

       • #pledgeaprojector (cinemas, sorry I know that one's a bit long but I wanted to think of a p word!)

       • #pledgeapurchase (anything!)
