The money
Where your money goes
£10 → £25
What a tenner spent with a local independent can be worth to the town before it leaves. Totnes has measured what that means in practice: somebody counted the shopkeepers, growers and makers, and worked out what the town keeps.
Totnes figures
£30mspent a year on food and drink to eat at home, across the town and its parishes
£22mof it imported from the rest of the UK and overseas
£2mmore a year stays here if we buy just a tenth of that imported food locally instead

Why buy from a Crowborough independent?
Small choices, close to home
When the bread, the veg or the birthday present comes from someone who lives here, the money goes round the town again before it leaves.
- It stays in the townMore of every pound goes on to pay local growers, tradespeople and Saturday jobs.
- You know who made itThe person who grew it, baked it or threw it is usually the one selling it, and will tell you how.
- It keeps the town a townIndependents are owned by neighbours. Their shopfronts, stalls and workshops are what make Crowborough look like Crowborough.
- Work for the next lotTrades, apprenticeships and first jobs live in independent businesses.

Why this page exists
This page belongs to Crowborough
A place is made by its local people and the independent businesses, groups, clubs, markets, activities and networks they create. Yet much of this local life is hard to find, scattered across word of mouth, social media, small websites, noticeboards and people’s memories.
Understead exists to make what’s local easier to see, easier to find and easier to take part in. What you see is the understead: the smaller, independent and community life of your town that can otherwise be remarkably easy to miss.
Every time you buy locally, join a group, recommend a place or share this page, you’re taking part in local life, and you make it easier for the next person to find.

Quick answers
Independent businesses, classes and activities, groups and clubs, markets, and what’s on in and around Crowborough. Understead brings together the local things that are otherwise scattered across websites, social media and word of mouth, so they’re easier to find and discover. There are 15 independent businesses and 1 market listed here so far, alongside local groups and organiser-published dates.
Local life doesn’t stop at the town boundary. Understead follows the useful local catchment around Crowborough, so relevant places in nearby towns and villages can appear here too. Each result tells you where it is, and the Nearby search lets you enter your own postcode and decide how far you want to look.
Use Add something local to tell us about a business, class, group, market or event we’re missing. If you run it yourself, use the appropriate listing or organiser route there. If it’s already on Understead, use its claim or update option where available.
Businesses can show their own website, phone, social channels, enquiry and booking links. Understead doesn’t get between you and the business. Where a business has opened a Shop here, you can also buy through Understead.
Eligible businesses can list free. Understead charges no listing fees and takes 0% sales commission on Shop sales. Shop and Trade subscriptions are optional and pay for extra tools, not a cut of each sale. Normal payment-processing fees may still apply when an online payment is taken.
Not on this page: nothing here is ordered by who pays, and adverts sit in their own marked spaces. Paying never puts a business into results it doesn’t belong in. In search, where several businesses match equally well, one on a paid plan can be listed above a free one.
