What is Love Local Life?

Love Local Life is your great local discount and reward card which offers savings across Cheshire East! It is the best way you can save when shopping locally, and can be used when eating out, buying gifts, keeping fit, using local business services and much, much more.

The ‘Love Local Life’ discount card was launched in the Macclesfield, Wilmslow and Alderley Edge areas in 2009, offering shoppers significant discounts if they stick to local shopping. It has so far proved a massive success with over 20,000 cards now in circulation.

Now also available in Middlewich, Congleton and Disley, with other towns across Cheshire East following suit during the next 12 months. For more details see the Love Local Life website.

The card can also be downloaded as a free mobile phone APP. This can be found in both the iTunes app store or Android Marketplace by searching for Love Local Life.

Amanda Fazalynia, the Macclesfield businesswoman behind the concept, said:

“Love Local Life has provided a much-needed boost to the local economy in Macclesfield and we're confident that the scheme could do the same for other towns across Cheshire East.”

Councillor Jamie Macrae, Cheshire East Cabinet member with responsibility for prosperity, said: “At a time when high streets are struggling to cope with the effects of a recession and a slow recovery period, we are proud to be supporting such a proactive campaign."

Funding has been granted to Love Local through the Council’s Economic Recovery Task Group.

Please note:
Love Local Life cards are available free of charge from Tourist Information Centres, Leisure Centres and Libraries in participating towns.  You can also apply for a card on the Love Local Life website, however,  there will be a charge of £5 which includes postage and packing.
