Please take a look at this opportunity thanks to Dorset Chamber.

Supporting Our High Streets – a fully funded growth programme for Dorset’s independent retailers

Free of charge to businesses in Dorset Council and BCP Council areas, the programme includes:
• A business ‘health check’ to highlight strengths and opportunities
• Nine online workshops covering finance, planning, marketing, HR, customer service, merchandising and more
• Insights from experienced retailers and industry specialists
• Practical tools and resources to apply directly to your business

🕕 Evening sessions (6–8pm) designed to fit around trading hours
📅 The programme starts on 15 October.
👉 If you own or manage an independent shop or town centre business and want to strengthen your operations, build resilience and explore new opportunities, register here:

📚 The BBC’s ‘500 Words’ writing competition is open for entries!

Make sure you submit your stories before 9pm, Friday 7 November.

There are two age categories: 5-7 and 8-11 year-olds and spelling, punctuation and grammar are not marked - as has always been the case for 500 Words, it's all about their writers' brilliant creativity! ✍🏻

There are prizes to be won - each winner will take home a bundle of books and the gold winners will also win 500 books for their school library.

50 finalists will be invited to a star-studded grand final at Windsor Castle in February 2026, which will once again be hosted by Her Majesty The Queen. If that's not enough, each winner will also see their story be read aloud by a superstar celebrity on TV, which will be shown as part of a special 500 Words programme with The One Show in early March.

Simply visit the website for details and good luck. 🤞
