We Help Local Communities Thrive

When a customer purchases a Why Leave Town gift card, they are supporting a local business. Our gift cards cannot be used outside of the region, meaning whenever a card is purchased, the money stays locally. Each program is ‘locked down’ to its own set of local businesses, meaning you can’t use a gift card from Program A at a business in Program B.

Our Story

We Put Towns Back on the Map.

Our first gift card program launched in Narrabri back in 2010, but has since expanded across Australia, now reaching more than 80 different communities across 450+ postcodes. Over the last decade, we’ve helped inject over $21 million dollars into local communities.

It’s often said that every dollar spent locally will have an impact of $1.80 on the community. This means local retailers not only reinvest with other businesses, but they also employ local staff, sponsor sports and events, and contribute to the unique cultural fabric of the community.
