Now that Labour is now in power, hopefully they'll hold good to their manifesto promises and that independent retail will benefit from the election, with the party prioritising our industry and seeing the benefit in the local high street and the sense of community it instils in an ever-invading sea of chain stores. However, with the announcement of new employment laws and employee rights, this gives small businesses a new set of factors to learn and navigate; the Federation of Small Businesses has been vocal about the matter - so watch this space

Professional Women's Network hosting event for young women with Down Syndrome during London Fashion Week |
|
The Professional Women's Network (PWN) is proud to announce a unique and empowering event during London Fashion Week. On Friday, 13th September, at Future Dreams House, PWN will host a special fashion show to empower young women with Down Syndrome and raise funds for Books Beyond Words, a charity dedicated to helping young adults and children understand the world through pictures and books. Books Beyond Words was founded on a touching story of a child visited every Thursday by their only parent, their father. When the father passed away, no one informed the child, fearing they would not understand due to their disability. This led to the child self-harming every Thursday. The breakthrough came when the loss was communicated through images and a book, highlighting the power of visual storytelling and giving birth to Books Beyond Words
