Lilly's sandwich shop just off Beacon Road, stood outside with a board giving free food, you just don't get a bigger heart than that

12/11/2024

You know me, I don't often rant but today, I take centre stage.

The simple facts are. We need your help, as does the pet shop, as do the tanning studios, the sandwich shops, the hairdresser's, DIY places and even your corner shop, We've all been in Wibsey for many years, we've shared tears, laughter and between the businesses we've gotten through COVID, always offered a smile and a chat and we all, I speak for other businesses, see you as our extended families.

With online shopping being so easy, local parking is now terrible, our bills have gone through the roof (our electric has gone up £100 a month from today) and now we've to pay business parking (£160.00) for two cars, it's no longer a really happy easy to run business, it's bloody tough, 24 hours a day and anything we make is taken from us in various forms. It costs around £10k a month to run my tiny business and I'll not lie, it's not easy. Tax, Vat, suppliers and Overheads, I won't bore you but it's really not as easy as you'd imagine

That's the same for every business locally. We're at breaking point.

The facts are really very very simple. Your local businesses need your custom more than ever. If we don't get that, we will not survive and once gone, that's it.

So whatever the local business you use, your custom will keep them going through some of the hardest years of trading.

I can't even begin to tell you how hard it is sometimes.

Rant over (sorry) xx

Buy a shop they said, it'll be easy they said

It takes people, not money to make something happen.

One person has an idea, that spreads to another, they arrange something, that gets more people invested and before you know it, you've done something for no other reason than wanting to help.

This year, one of my favourite musical artists got together with The Golden Lion in Todmorden where they're having Xmas dinner for 300 people who otherwise would have really struggled this year. Artist donated 500 records and they were auctioned off to raise money. They raised over £3000.

I bid for a box (I love vinyl records, adore them and don't get me started, I could go on for hours) and thought bu**er this, we can do the vegatables.

This morning we arrived at St James Market and met Mark, the manager who put my on touch with Gary who we got the veg from. He very very very kindly donated another load and by the time we'd finished, I reckon we had 200/300 kg of fresh veg. Enough I think to feed 400+ people.

This food will be used for Xmas dinner, given to various different food banks and hopefully just take a little bit of pressure off people this Xmas.

We've been humbled by the support people have given us but most importantly, it's not us who should be praised, it's the entire chain of people to wanting to do something this year.

So Neil, Gig, Mark, Gary and Shakeel along with countless others that have helped other people, you're all just the most amazing people.

Where does Shakeel fit in.... Well, he collects the unsold food from the market and delivers it across the local area every week. Mark does the same for his Church, every week and Gary, well, he's just amazing

What a wonderful way to learn about the beauty that goes on everyday without us knowing.

True heroes don't wear capes..

What a great morning.

If you can, find a chain of people, get involved and do something just to do it. You'll love it.

Merry Christmas

Hey Guys,

Please note, we're closing the Halifax shop from Sat 29th April.

We've had the most intense 3 years of our lives but alas, for now, we must bow down to external pressures as safeguard ourselves for the future.

Over the past three years, we've served thousands of Halifax based customers, we've loved every second but during that time we've had two years of covid, a Russia / Ukraine war, Cost of living crisis, Halifax council have spent hundreds of thousands on the most ridiculous cycle path as well as closing King Cross road for a number of months and in return, damaged the flow of the road and we can't see daylight anytime soon. Put this together with increased costs, helium shortages, supply chain issues and without doubt, the huge loss of my wife and business partner shortly after we opened, It's been very very tough.

That said....

We will be back, our leaving you for now is far from permanent. We simply cannot find the right shop to move into. Believe me, i've searched high and low. We've come so close on a couple but these were way too close to other businesses in Halifax that do an equally superb job as ourselves and felt this to be unfair.

The business is NOT in any form of financial trouble and all orders taken will be filled, delivered as per normal. We will be moving back to our Wibsey store in Bradford, take a breath and continue to build the business.

WE WILL BE BACK IN HALIFAX. We will continue to share our installs on our pages and we will continue to have our website www.weloveballoons.co.uk available for you to purchase from for collections until the end of May and deliveries going forward until we return.

I will ask one thing of you. Support your local businesses. Companies everywhere are closing, many with reasons similar to our own. The owners of these businesses, like me, have worked the last three years without a break, seen many dark sky's, shared every celebration with you and have watched and are watching things, that they're not in control of, really hurt what they have spent many years working to create..

The decision to close the Halifax shop has been has been one of the toughest decisions i've ever made.

With much love, gratitude, eternal thanks to the wonderful, amazing, funny, kind, generous people, i'm genuinely heartbroken

BUT

I will be back.....

Any questions, please feel free to drop me a message or drop me an email to [email protected]

See you again soon
