About

Areacodes backs the independent businesses that make Brighton.

Mission

Our mission

We help local, independent businesses attract loyal customers and keep their identity and their profit.

We want to change how you spend time in your city, so backing local becomes your best choice.

Values

Our values

  • Local over corporate

    We champion independent, grassroots businesses. The places that give a city its character deserve to thrive.

  • Culture over convenience

    We back the real character of a city over the copy-paste high street.

  • Truth over polish

    We value real experiences and honest, direct words. We leave corporate fluff out.

  • Community over competition

    We build a network of support among local businesses. One business wins, and the neighbourhood wins with it.

  • Accessibility without devaluing

    We make local a good option for everyone, and we keep the offers fair to the businesses that make it special.
