NTSU is committed to empowering and supporting our local Black community and this marketplace is just one of the ways we’re doing that.
Black business owners are often under-represented, and we want to help spread the word about a few of the many great ones we have here in Nottingham which is why we’ve created a marketplace to showcase them.
Some of the businesses have very kindly offered to give discounts exclusively for NTSU members! Click the tiles below to find out more.
