Local business Boost Chiropractic has been working hard over the month of June with their Support Local Challenge. Every day this month, they have chosen a local business to give a shout out for, and have been offering perks to customers choosing to get on board with the movement and support that day’s chosen shop.

The Boost Chiropractic team has set up tabs at local businesses to encourage people to get out there and shop local. That means if you go to the store Boost Chiropractic is supporting, you can get that shop’s goods or services on the Boost team. Win, win. For a list of the businesses that are getting on board, see the Boost Chiropractic Facebook Page.

After seeing the effects that the lockdown was having on local businesses financially, Boost Chiropractic was inspired to get out there and do something about it.

“Covid lockdown was a time where we had the opportunity to reflect on our business and our impact on the community we love. While we were confident that things would be okay for us, we looked at our local community and saw that there could potentially be some challenges in the future for our community as a whole. So, from that perspective, we started to think about what we could do to impact our local economy and engaging the locals to support local businesses was a way that we could help in a real way.

“We then looked at what people in other regions had done and kind of adapted and used ideas which we thought may be fun: our 30 day Support Local Challenge was born. We are inspired to serve our community on a greater scale and have fun while we do it. A strong, connected community is important to us.

“We knew that if we committed ourselves to supporting local that perhaps that would inspire people to spend locally and get behind local businesses, and the response so far has been amazing! Businesses are super receptive to us promoting them, and the locals are using the tabs wonderfully. Some people have mentioned that they don't want to use the tab as they feel there are people out there who are more in need that could use it. However, our response to that would be that the initiative is for people to support local businesses, not receive handouts for the locals. So please, go and use the tabs and get behind these amazing small businesses.”

Although the Support Local challenge is only running for 30 days, the support won't end there. Boost Community Connections page is a Facebook group that has been set up to foster strong awareness for local businesses, the people behind those businesses and what they are doing to support the local community. 

Boost Chiropractic will continue the challenge with a couple of awesome ongoing monthly and weekly events which they will let people know about through Boost Community Connections on Facebook. 

As well as all the businesses being showcased in the Support Local challenge, don't forget to support the one behind it all, Boost Chiropractic, which is located in Snells Beach and Warkworth. 

“Our business is Boost Chiropractic, and our mission as a practice is to authentically serve and empower families through vitalistic wellness.”
