Your £25 annual EG Shop Local Card unlocks exclusive quarterly offers from the businesses owned and operated right here in East Grinstead. From coffee shops to consultants, tradespeople to therapists. Save on what you love. Back who you believe in.
Every local business that closes is a family's livelihood, a trusted service, a piece of the community gone quiet. This is the story we are refusing to let play out.
Independent businesses across the UK are closing at record rates. Whether it is a shop on the high street or a local tradesperson, once they are gone, they rarely come back.
Every pound spent with a big chain leaves town within days. Money spent locally recirculates here, funding jobs, events and the community itself.
The barista who knows your order, the plumber you trust, the trainer who knows your goals. None of this survives without people choosing local on purpose.
This is not another discount app buried in your phone. One card, one membership, one yes to the town you actually live in.
Brand new exclusive offers drop every three months. Cardholders only. Use them with cafes, shops, salons, trades, fitness, wellbeing, professional services, and everything in between.
Your membership fee supports the scheme that drives business to East Grinstead's independents. Every use of your card is a tangible vote for a stronger local economy.
Join a growing community of East Grinstead residents choosing local on purpose. Member only events, early access, and a town that feels like yours again.
The EG Shop Local Card was built by people who love East Grinstead as much as you do. We have watched the businesses we rely on disappear. We have seen what happens when a community stops showing up for itself.
So we built something practical. Something that makes choosing a local business easier, cheaper, and more rewarding than choosing the alternative. Simple for you. Powerful for them. Proper for the town.
No app. No login. No gimmicks. Just a card, a town, and a very simple way of looking after both.
One annual payment. Takes 60 seconds. Your digital card is added to your Apple or Google Wallet instantly.
Show your digital card on your phone at any participating business. See the offers on our directory page, updated every quarter.
Enjoy your savings, watch the town thrive, and get fresh offers in your inbox every three months.
Loyalty schemes from big brands are designed to keep you coming back to them. The EG Shop Local Card does the opposite. It channels your spending toward the independent businesses, of every type, that are owned and operated right here in East Grinstead.
Participating businesses refresh their cardholder offers every quarter. That means your £25 card pays for itself quickly and keeps earning you value across the whole year. Meanwhile, the town gets something priceless: a community that chooses its own people on purpose.
Run by locals. Backed by independents. Built to keep East Grinstead exactly the kind of place people actually want to live in.
Community Interest Company · East Grinstead
The EG Shop Local Card is owned and operated by Beating Boundaries CIC, a Community Interest Company based right here in East Grinstead. We exist to strengthen the community we live in, and that starts with making sure the businesses that serve this town can thrive.
Beating Boundaries was founded to build confidence, create opportunity, and break down the barriers that hold people back. Our work with young people through programmes like Unleashed has taught us that strong communities are built on strong local foundations. When local businesses do well, the whole town benefits. More jobs, more connection, more reasons to be proud of where you live.
The EG Shop Local Card is an extension of that mission. It is not a corporate scheme and it is not run for shareholder profit. It is a practical tool built by local people to keep money circulating in East Grinstead, to support the businesses that give this town its character, and to reward residents for choosing local on purpose.
Any surplus generated by the scheme goes straight back into Beating Boundaries' community work in East Grinstead. So every card you buy and every business that joins is not just backing local trade. It is investing in the town itself.
