1% for Localism
Since day one, Xplorable has existed for one reason:
to help independent places thrive — the cafés, shops, pubs, restaurants, makers and spaces that give our communities soul.
That’s why we’re pledging 1% of all Xplorable revenue to fund a new non-profit arm:
Local Is Our Future
A grant programme designed to support the people rebuilding common ground — through bricks-and-mortar businesses, community projects, and local entrepreneurship.
Because the future shouldn’t belong to global giants.
It should belong to the people who make places feel human.
With banks retreating from towns and traditional funding increasingly out of reach, too many people with the passion to build something local are being shut out.
Local Is Our Future exists to change that — by reinvesting in the people, ideas and communities that would otherwise be left behind.
Through this commitment, Xplorable helps enable:
- Support for the next generation of independent entrepreneurs
- Grants for community-led spaces that bring people together
- National campaigns that protect local businesses and local life
- Action that strengthens local economies from the ground up
This isn’t a marketing initiative.
It’s a long-term commitment.
As Xplorable grows, our contribution to Local Is Our Future will grow with it — helping ensure more time, money and opportunity stay where they belong:
in local hands.
Xplorable creates vibrant communities that thrive.
When we prioritise local businesses, we see:
Stronger local economies
with increased support for independent shops and producers.
Enhanced community connections
that reduce loneliness and foster a sense of belonging.
Healthier lifestyles
through access to fresh, local goods that nourish both body and mind.
Diverse local ecosystems
supported by sustainable practices that protect wildlife.
Less waste and pollution
as we minimise our carbon footprint through conscious spending.
