Support Local is an initiative of Advance Greater Cessnock in partnership with local Chambers and Associations establishing greater support and promotion of local businesses within the community.

Locals supporting locals is all about working together. It’s about shopping and buying local; as well as hiring local talent – it’s about keeping doors open!
