Keep Sunday Special is a campaign of

A registered charity no. 1106460


	Three out of four people say they would rather be assured of one day a week to spend with family and friends than to have extra hours to shop on a Sunday NOP Consumer Poll, 2005

Why?

We live in an increasingly 24/7 society. I can buy a pint of milk at 2am or order CDs online in my pyjamas. So why can't I go shopping whenever I want?

We don't want to tell people how to live their lives, but we do believe there need to be some limits to protect the things that matter most.

Here are five reasons to keep Sunday special:

Protecting relationships

Preserving community

Saving local business

Respecting faith

Getting rest

For a more detailed argument see our submission to the DTI for the Government's consultation in 2006 on the costs and benefits of deregulating trading hours.
