Choose Local - Belong where you Belong ✊

Choose Local – A New Movement to Reclaim What Matters

Corporations are loud. They have the power to reach us anywhere — our phones, our homes, our heads. But all they really care about is profit.

Local is different.

It’s built on people, not profit. On places that bring us together. On cafés, pubs, barbers, bookshops, and markets that give us common ground — the kind of ground where we connect, belong, and thrive.

That’s why Xplore is launching Choose Local — a new campaign to unite 100,000 independent businesses, 1,000 communities, and 1 million locals across the UK.

Because when we choose local, we’re not just supporting a business. We’re investing in belonging, purpose, and identity — things that can’t be mass produced.

We’re Stronger Together

Every independent business represents more than a place to buy something. It’s a place to be someone. To meet, to share, to build something real.

And when we connect these businesses — from coffee shops in Bristol to a butcher in Edinburgh — we build a network of resilience. A movement of people choosing to live and spend differently.

A Map of Hope

Through Xplore, every certified independent becomes part of a growing map of local life — a map of people doing different, standing up for community, and refusing to let corporations define our future.

Our Goal

• 100,000 Independents united under one platform
• 1,000 Communities connected across the UK
• 1 Million Locals choosing to act together

This is Our Fightback

This isn’t just about shopping differently.
It’s about belonging differently.
It’s about reclaiming the places, people, and purpose that make life worth living.

Corporations are loud. But local can be louder — if we act together.

Choose Local. Belong where you belong.
