Some people have been sheltering for a long time or may have only rarely left home to go out due to the lockdown. By establishing Slow Shopping times in your store you can signal to these customers that you have taken particular care to make the environment as safe as possible.
Now is great time to take stock, reflect and create a new vision for the high street. Slow Shopping provides a framework to research and develop new ideas where the customer is explicitly at it's heart - Especially those who are most anxious or who have been shielding for months.
@Wendy_J_Wills I have been thinking of you. This is a very confusing time for all of us. I find the world quite surreal. It must be so much more difficult for anyone with cognitive impairment. Take care
While Slow Shopping isn’t a possibility for the most vulnerable in society while we’re in lockdown, you can still support your local community. Pop a note through their door with your phone number on it & encourage them to call for a chat or to for you to get essentials for them.
I am concerned about the impact of self-isolation on people who are already isolated, lonely or disengaged from the ordinary, everyday stuff of life. Can we respond creatively to our neighbours and our community?
Let's stay connected. #community#slowshopping
Slow Shopping in Cranleigh, the community have now developed a response to the new challenges of the Corona virus with a genuine coming together of many of the local organisations and members of the public and an attempt to co-ordinate all the good-will effectively. #slowshopping
Older people are our priority.
During this time we will be doing all we can to support older people and @FoodTrainScot @MealMakersScot
Good nutrition is more important that ever so during @NHWeek we’ll be sharing tips on how to keep well and eat well at home.

Slow Shopping
Can we help someone in our community who may be anxious, vulnerable, alone or self-isolating today?
Leave them a note to let them know you are able to help if they need it.

Attended a wonderful conference 'Green High Street 2050: A Climate Emergency'. Slow Shopping wants to bring people back into the heart of the community and highlight the part that our local market towns and villages play in addressing climate change
Thank you @QueensHall for inviting us to take part in a fantastic @slowshoppinguk training session this morning. Great ideas for working together to enhance our customer experience for those with dementia and other disabilities
