Black Pound Day, the movement supporting black-owned businesses in Britain, is opening its first permanent store in London.
The Black Pound Day campaign was launched in 2020 by So Solid Crew’s DJ Swiss and is aimed at supporting the growth of the UK’s black economy. It falls on the first Saturday of each month and encourages people to spend locally or online with black-owned companies.
The initiative has also developed an online directory of more than 1,500 businesses.
