ShopKind Week is Back!

Gloucester BID is proud to support ShopKind Week, running from this Monday, 30th June until Sunday, 6th July 2025. It's a national campaign that calls for kindness and respect towards shopworkers and highlights the essential role they play in our communities.

Led by the Home Office and supported by major retailers and local organisations, ShopKind aims to tackle the rising issue of abuse and violence against retail staff – promoting a safer and more respectful shopping environment for all.

We've started bringing packs around to businesses in the city centre and will continue to do so next week.
