Ealing BID Launches Final Summer Giveaway
Celebrating local life with photo competition
#MakeItSnappy campaign sees ten food and drink vouchers for £25 given out each day
March 18, 2025
Ealing Broadway is set to host the final instalment of its summer giveaway series this month, as the Make It Ealing Business Improvement District (BID) invites residents to take part in the #MakeItSnappy campaign.
Running from 12 to 21 August, the initiative encourages participants to share photographs of places, people, and moments that capture what they love about Ealing Broadway.
Each day, ten winners will be selected to receive a £25 voucher redeemable at a range of local food, drink, wellness, and retail venues. In total, 100 vouchers will be distributed. Entries can be submitted via social media or directly through the Make It Ealing website.
A spokesperson for the BID said the campaign aims to “celebrate the people, places, and everyday moments that make Ealing Broadway feel special,” and to showcase the area through the eyes of those who live and work there.
The #MakeItSnappy giveaway follows two earlier events this summer—#MakeItTasty and #MakeItFeelGood—which offered similar incentives to promote local businesses and community engagement. Those campaigns featured food tastings, wellness pop-ups, and interactive activities across the town centre, as part of a broader effort to revitalise the high street and support independent traders.
The BID, which represents businesses in the area, has committed to investing £1 million over five years to improve and promote Ealing Broadway. The summer events form part of that strategy, aiming to foster a sense of local pride and encourage footfall during the holiday season.
Participants in the #MakeItSnappy campaign are invited to submit photos of anything from a favourite coffee shop or mural to a quiet corner of a park. The organisers emphasise that the campaign is open to all ages and backgrounds, and that the focus is on personal connection rather than professional photography.
