22.01.2022 Local businesses have been among the hardest hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic especially small business. Chris Brown is a Personal Trainer and owner of Fun and Fitness with Chris - working with clients of all-abilities. Stage one lockdown was very hard on me, it was hard to get clients and get the business going, he said. In stage two lockdown I started to learn how to use different technology to do live work-outs, and this helped to build the business. ... It has made me stronger, and I can see a future for my business. Every time something gets you down, you need to think of that little red train I think I can, I know I can, and just keep on keeping on. It’s vital we hear from all areas of our community to ensure our COVID-19 Recovery Plan provides support to those who need it most.
