BELMAYNE OPENS DOORS FOR PATHWAYS COLLECTION For the fourth consecutive year, Dronfield-based independent financial planners, Belmayne, are inviting local residents to drop off donations at its office for Pathways of Chesterfield’s Christmas Rucksack Appeal. This year, Pathways is asking supporters to fill a rucksack with useful goodies and treats that can be handed out as Christmas presents to the homeless people with whom it works. The charity has suggested various items that could be included, such as socks, hats, gloves, scarves, torches, flask, toiletries, hand warmers, gift cards, sleeping bags and lunchbox style snacks (none perishable and alcohol free). Donations must be with Belmayne no later than Wednesday 18th December and labelled man, woman or unisex. Pathways of Chesterfield’s office manager, Laura Roberts, said: “Rucksacks are a hot commodity and are always in demand. People who are rough sleeping have to carry their whole world around with them. A new rucksack for Christmas, along with the goodies inside, will be the perfect gift.” Belmayne partner, Jon Stevens, organises the collections. He added: “We’ve had a tremendous response from the Dronfield community to our previous appeals and I have every confidence this year will be no exception. Pathways relies on donations from the public and we hope that by investing a little time and effort, we can make Christmas less bleak for those who sleep on the streets.” Rucksacks can also be dropped off at Pathways of Chesterfield’s office, 106 Saltergate, Chesterfield, any weekday between 9:30am and 4pm.

CELEBRATE SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY 💙 Small Business Saturday was originally an American shopping holiday but soon spread across the Atlantic and is now celebrated annually on the first Saturday of December in the UK. The idea is to get people to give big business a miss for a day and support the friendly shops, garages, cafes, restaurants, garden centres, travel agents and bars in their neighbourhood. The hope is that we will all discover just how enjoyable it can be to help out local small businesses - and return time after time in the future. The pounds you spend with small businesses in our area will also make a difference beyond retailers' doors. Small businesses create local jobs and pay local taxes, which keeps money circulating within communities. Shopping small in the run-up to Christmas can also be environmentally friendly by reducing the distance that goods travel. Small can be beautiful too and the chances are you will make many surprising discoveries when you walk through the doorway of a unique, independent business. As a small business ourselves, we are happy to support other small businesses and encourage people to shop local this December 7th! #SmallBusinessSaturday #Sheffield #Dronfield #Chesterfield #Wingerworth #Bolsover #Derbyshire
