Support your local high street

Posted on by

cropped-mh-christmas-lights-31.jpgThe National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) is running a great campaign to support our high streets. As many of you already know, we have a wonderful high street with many independent shops. In order to promote our local businesses, we are sourcing nearly all the prizes for our fantastic Christmas Raffle from shops and businesses based in Market Harborough.

Watch this space for those who have been kind enough to donate to our Christmas 2014 raffle and please support them by shopping locally whenever you can.
