In October 2025, Make It Ealing held a ballot asking businesses to vote for a new five-year term.

The current financial climate is pushing many businesses to their limits, and committing to a plan that doesn't deliver immediate ROI relative to your own baseline is a tough ask. However, you trusted our promise and the board, fellow business owners, and managers like yourselves to deliver, align resources, and achieve outcomes far beyond what any individual business baseline can achieve in isolation.

With your support, Make It Ealing has secured another five-year term, with 81% voting in favour by number and 86% by RV.

Our business plan is not about more of the same; it's your feedback on how to shape the future of business welfare on Ealing Broadway. If you want your business to be more involved, get in touch to find out how your voice can shape the future.

Also, it's really exciting to hear that Miniso are collaborating with Kanada-Ya for their One Piece event on December 1st, from 12 noon. Tickets for this unique, fan-based event are available on Eventbrite. It will be very exciting for One Piece fans, with lots of activities and photo ops.

Ealing Foodbank has two BIG asks for businesses as we approach the festive season and consider people less fortunate than ourselves.

Firstly, they need their appeal promoted to the widest possible audience, so please share the link to the JustGiving page on social media.

The second BIG ask is to find a business, businesses, or an individual who would pledge to match £500 or £1000 of donations in their winter appeal. Ealing Foodbank would promote the companies on their social media and JustGiving pages as a thank-you.

Ealing Foodbank will have a stall at Ealing Broadway Christmas Market on November 30th, so pop down and have a chat if you think you might be able to donate, or email info@ealing.foodbank.org.uk for more information.

Get a QR code to display in your shop to help with donations here. Contact the BID office if you need an A4 copy printed for display.
