On the run up to Christmas, we have teamed up with Oxford City Council, The Oxford Times and Experience Oxfordshire to create a campaign to support Oxford indies this Christmas, working together to promote businesses during the lockdown by encouraging people to support local traders by shopping online.

We have created a map, which includes videos and audio stories with indie business owners.

These stories mean that you can find out more about the history and people behind some of Oxford’s best loved independent shops with our video stories, created by Freddie Jewson.

I’m really passionate about Independent Oxford and supporting and promoting independent businesses in Oxfordshire. Indie businesses are the life blood of our towns, cities and communities, but they need support to survive and thrive. Creating a network that provides a space for indies to find peer support, knowledge and information is so important, and means businesses are far more likely to continue. Supporting indies means a stronger local economy and a closer, inclusive community for all.
