How Love Kettering Supports Local Businesses, Charities and Community Groups

We’ve spent four years building a community of over 9,000 local residents who genuinely want to know what’s happening in their town, find brilliant local businesses and support the organisations that make Kettering a great place to live. That audience is one of the most valuable things we have – and we want to help you reach it.

Whether you’re a small independent business, a charity, a community group or an event organiser, here are all the ways we can support you.

The simplest thing you can do right now: tag us

It costs nothing and takes seconds. Whenever you post on Facebook or Instagram, simply tag Love Kettering in your post.

When you do, we can reshare your original content directly to our audience, boost it in our Stories, and help direct traffic straight to your page. It means more eyes on your posts, more engagement on your content, and an easier way for people to find the links and information you’re sharing.

It’s the simplest form of support we offer – and it’s completely free. So if you’re not already tagging us, start today.

Get listed on the Love Kettering Hub

The Love Kettering Hub is Kettering’s central business directory and events platform, built in partnership with Kettering Town Council. It’s where local residents come to find businesses, discover events and connect with everything happening in their community – and it’s somewhere we actively and consistently promote to our 9,000+ network.

Every listing on the Hub benefits from regular features across our social channels and mailing list, including dedicated roundups of upcoming events and spotlights on businesses in each category. Being listed isn’t just a directory entry – it’s an ongoing presence in front of people who are actively looking for what you offer.

Here’s what’s available:

Business membership

For businesses and organisations with a physical premises. Your membership includes a permanent, searchable profile, unlimited event and promotion listings, access to our members-only business forum, and a monthly members’ meetup where you can get practical marketing support and connect with other local organisations.

Charity and community group membership

The same benefits as business membership, at a reduced rate that reflects the vital work charities and community organisations do for our town. We believe every organisation that makes Kettering better deserves to be found – regardless of budget.

Event listing packages

No fixed premises? No problem. If you organise events independently – whether they move around, happen at hired venues or take place outdoors – our event listing packages let you get your events in front of thousands of local residents without a full membership. Packages are available in bundles of 1, 10 or 50 listings.

Free concession for income-free grassroots groups

We know that some of the most important community work in Kettering is done by volunteer-run groups with absolutely no income behind them – scout troops, community litter picks, residents’ associations, cadets, neighbourhood initiatives and more. If that’s you, we don’t want cost to be a barrier. Get in touch and tell us about your group, and we’ll review your application for free access on a case-by-case basis.

Bespoke content creation services

Sometimes you need more than a reshare. If you’d like help promoting your business, event or organisation in the best possible light, we offer paid content creation services tailored to your needs.

We can help with photography, videography and social media content – creating material that tells your story properly and gives your audience a genuine reason to engage. Whether you need a set of professional images for your listings and socials, a short promotional video for an upcoming event, or ongoing social media support, we can discuss what’s right for you.

Get in touch via our contact page and we’ll talk through your requirements.

Why it all adds up

Each of these things works on its own – but they work best together. A business listed on the Hub, regularly tagging us in their posts and occasionally featured in our content has a consistently visible presence across Kettering’s most engaged local community. That kind of visibility builds trust, drives footfall and brings new customers through the door.

We’re not just a platform. We’re a community of people who care about this town – and we want to see every brilliant business, charity and organisation in it thrive.
