xplore is transforming local economies to benefit independent businesses, people, our communities and the planet. We won't stop until every independent business is certified and part of our community.
During September, in partnership with Bath BID, we quietly launched the Bath Community Gift Card. Community gift cards have been created to share the joy of discovery. They unlock the door to the independent community and give back to the local community by making sure spend circulates in local hands.
The tapestry of independent communities across the country is the cultural fabric of our nation. Often found away from bustling urban centres, they offer a unique blend of tradition and innovation. But above all they offer a strong sense of connection.
