6-9pm via Zoom
Learn how to build social media strategy that delivers results.
This event is only available and is free for small businesses, small charities, sole traders and residents based in South Gloucestershire and Bath & North East Somerset.
Welcome to the “Beginner’s Guide to Social Media Marketing” workshop, tailored for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who are venturing into the world of social media marketing.
If you’re feeling daunted by the prospect of social media promotion, unsure of where to start, or seeking clarity on achieving better engagement, this workshop is designed for you.
The Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce the launch of the latest version of the very popular town map.
This year has a new design at its centre, based on the map used by South Glos Council for their new High Street signs that you might have seen about town.
Having picked up our 2025 town map at local motorway service stations and hotels, the first thing visitors to town will see is the same map that's on the High Street signs, giving a joined up approach.
Look out for the new maps on your travels and in the High Street.
We would like to thank South Glos Council, Sodbury Town Council, 29-Design, plus many others who have helped and supported the project.
RichMcD (joint chair of the chamber) said "The Map looks great and we really hope it will encourage visitors to come to our great town."
Chipping Sodbury High Street is undergoing a refresh – not just in appearance, but in purpose – as it proudly begins its journey towards becoming a more dementia-friendly community.
Spearheaded by the internationally recognised Purple Angel Campaign, founded by dementia advocate Norman McNamara, this initiative aims to transform the High Street into a safe, understanding, and inclusive place for people living with dementia and their families.
The local movement is being driven by Rich McD, Co-Chair of the Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce, and Emma Doney, founder of Best Life Companions and Best Life Day Clubs, a local organisation offering companionship, respite, and support for vulnerable adults.
Together, Rich and Emma are rallying local businesses, community groups, and residents to participate in dementia awareness training, display the Purple Angel logo with pride, and make practical changes to ensure shops, services, and public spaces are more navigable and welcoming to all.
“We want Chipping Sodbury to be a place where everyone feels they belong,” said Emma Doney. “This is about small changes with a big impact, from clearer signage and quieter shopping times to staff who understand how to support someone living with memory loss.”
The Purple Angel Campaign was launched by Norman McNamara after his own diagnosis of dementia at age 50. Now a global movement, it empowers communities to break down stigma and build awareness, one street at a time.
Rich McD added, “Our High Street is the heart of this town. By embracing this campaign, we’re not only supporting our older residents and carers but creating a more compassionate community for everyone.”
Local businesses are invited to get involved, with dementia awareness sessions, resources, and Purple Angel recognition available through the campaign team.
Chipping Sodbury Chamber supports local businesses working together to create a thriving town and sought after business location.
