Theme 3 Christmas and 2021, plus Collaborating Locally
We'll focus on the top ideas to make the most of this year's Christmas period, all based on our research and experience with other independent businesses on the UK’s high streets.  We'll look at ways you could benefit by getting involved with initiatives from [name of town] Council and local community champions. We'll help you identify, connect and collaborate and we’ll listen to your ideas.  In this week’s theme, we will also share ideas related to the year ahead for you to consider as part of your Action Plan.

Theme 4 Costs and funding
We'll help you analyse and where possible reduce your costs, including optional support with securing new agreements (e.g. landlords, suppliers, utilities companies, payment providers and more). We'll also help you understand and access different types of funding for your business. 

Your Action Plan (Part 1)
We'll set up a personalised action plan, including all the ideas you've liked, but not yet completed from the previous weeks. The action plan will be interactive so you can add new ideas and allocate dates, notes, owners etc anytime.

Your Action Plan (Part 2)
We'll review and update your action plan, while doing what we can to help you implement any high priority ideas on your plan. We will also identify what ongoing support you would like and with your consent add this into our round-up report to [name of town] Council.
