#SBS Small Business Sunday

#SBS is one of the leading small business networks in the UK with 4,500 members.

Each week, Theo Paphitis welcomes 6 small businesses who tweet, comment or post an image to @TheoPaphitis describing their businesses to the #SBS community. #SBS now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Theo-logy

Theo says, “I admire people who have passion and energy. If you cannot bore your friends to death about your own small business then something is seriously wrong. I was struck by the number of business owners on Twitter (now X) who wanted to tell me about their new products and services. Small Business Sunday was born so that people have a specific time slot to post and pitch their ‘sell’ directly to me. #SBS, marking its 15th anniversary in 2025, now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn and I am constantly blown away by the depth and quality of the entrants.”

Up The Garden Path

#SBS winner Up The Garden Bath is a Peterborough-based not-for-profit driving positive change through sustainability, education, and grassroots innovation. The team is celebrating two major recent milestones:

Invitation to Buckingham Palace by King Charles
On 14th May 2025, Up The Garden Bath was invited to Buckingham Palace to meet His Majesty King Charles III. This prestigious honour recognises their ongoing work in education and the environment, celebrating how they have used creativity and community spirit to effect real, lasting change.
Launch of Self-Funded Spring/Summer Activities Supported by UNITY
They have also launched their Spring/Summer 2025 programme of free, community-led activities, including eco-craft workshops, gardening experiences, and educational sessions across Peterborough. These projects are entirely self-funded through the success of UNITY, their community retail store in Queensgate Shopping Centre.

Dave Poulton commented: “From installing upcycled bathtub planters in schools to running inclusive, hands-on workshops and creating vibrant community spaces, our goal has always been to unite people through purpose and creativity.”
