Support Local Small Business

You love them, we love them, let’s get through this together.

I’m talking about the small businesses of our fair city that make our community what it is. After the new restrictions came down in NSW, many businesses are changing their approach to how best to serve their customers and it is our job to support them in this change.

Let’s run through a few local businesses that have changed their service structure to acclimatise to the current conditions.

Science Space in Wollongong may be temporarily closed but they have announced that they are offering a Virtual Science Space that will be video-based. The new online resource will be showing fun videos of science at home as well as demonstrations and STEM challenges.

Circus Monoxide may have closed their doors for physical classes but are working on a fantastic online program to stream classes and keep everyone in your family performing at their best. Stay tuned to the Circus Monoxide Social Media accounts for more information on what will be available in the coming week.

Brilliant Blooms in Balgownie are offering gift wrapping and delivery to keep your house feeling fresh with beautiful flowers or sending something special to someone you care for.
