Salmon LIVE 29 October 2019

 

A chance for all of the local businesses, community groups and charities featured in Salmon Magazine to come together under one roof for one evening

Our vision is to encourage Kingston’s businesses and residents to lead a more sustainable lifestyle and to make considered, sustainable choices. By making people aware of Kingston Pound’s ethos; encouraging people to ‘shop local’ instead of online; sharing what is on offer by way of local recycling schemes and ethical business models; and introducing residents to local organisations, charity groups and community groups, it will create a better community for us all to thrive in.
