Perth and Kinross Cittaslow Business Supporters Scheme
Perth & Kinross Cittaslow has followed the example of other Cittaslow towns in the UK and has set up a Supporters Scheme that recognises and promotes local businesses that work in ways that are sympathetic to Cittaslow principles.
Businesses that want to be recognised as Cittaslow Supporters must respond positively to a dozen simple questions about their business.
- Do I offer any products or services that are unique to my business?
- Do I increase customer choice with my range of products or services?
- Have I drawn on local traditions to develop my products or services?
- Do I support local events and community activities?
- Have I adopted business practices that help conserve the environment?
- Am I a member of any schemes that recognise good environmental practice?
- Do I offer customers local produce or products?
- Do I highlight or promote any local produce or products that I offer?
- Do my products or services contribute to or encourage healthy living?
- Do I provide any special products or services for young people?
- Do I work with any local community organisations?
- Can I help to promote the principles of Cittaslow?
Each Cittaslow Supporter must be able to respond positively to at least half of these questions.
There is no cost to being recognised as a Cittaslow Supporter and there are a variety of benefits including promotion and networking.
If you would like more information about becoming a Cittaslow Supporter, please contact Kay Lamb at KELamb@pkc.gov.uk or Douglas Ritchie at douglas@tals.co.uk.
