The Federation of Independent Retailers (The Fed) has launched an exclusive benefits scheme for Fed members.
Called FedPlus, the scheme offers a range of discounts on a host of goods and activities, from everyday purchases to luxury products.
Through FedPlus, Fed members will have access to a range of fantastic money-saving benefits covering a wide variety of areas – from health and well-being to home and car essentials, and from food and drink to fashion and tech, entertainment, travel and experiences.
There is a Savings Calculator to show how much has been saved, based on monthly or annual spending, on a range of everyday categories. The Savings Calculator will generate a personal savings total and provide links to the individual deals.
Launching FedPlus, National President Mo Razzaq said: “In my inaugural speech at the Fed’s Annual Conference in June, I spoke about the importance of providing more benefits to help members make money, save money and make business easier.
“Just four months on, we are delighted to bring you FedPlus. This is an exciting new addition to our ever-growing list of member benefits which brings you quick, at your fingertips access to several offers across a wide range of categories so the money in your wallets and purses goes even further in these financially strained times.”
Members can access the scheme through thefedonline.com website. It went live yesterday (October 31).
FedPlus is managed and run for the Fed by Parliament Hill Limited, which has been providing benefit management solutions for membership organisations for the past 20 years. Top name companies offering discounts include Virgin Experience Days, Nuffield Health, Hotpoint, Halfords, Boots, Curry’s and EE.
Tom Sparke, joint managing director and client services director at Parliament Hill, said: “We are looking forward to working with the Fed to assist them in the fantastic support that it provides for its members.
“The Fed has a strong commitment to supporting its members, which aligns with the Parliament Hill ethos of placing the needs of our clients’ members at the heart of what we do.”

Community celebrates revamped SPAR Barrowford reopening
SPAR Barrowford's reopening was met with celebrations as excited locals waited eagerly to explore the store.
Mayor of Pendle, Cllr Mohammad Aslam, officiated the ribbon-cutting ceremony, joined by representatives from Barrowford Celtic Football Club and Barrowford Cricket Club, both of which received contributions from SPAR in celebration of the relaunch.
Ian Hall, Chairman of James Hall & Co. Ltd, owner of SPAR Barrowford, Company Stores Director Fiona Drummond, and new Store Manager Stacy Atherton also joined the community as eager locals queued excitedly outside.
As part of the reopening event, Barrowford School Choir performed live in the store. A family fun day was also integrated into the occasion with face painting, in-store games, free samples, and free hot drinks on offer.
The comprehensive modernisation of SPAR Barrowford includes a brand-new food-to-go area installed, overhauling the range of delicious sandwiches and hot food customers can purchase.
The revamped store now has outstanding value in the range of hot drinks served from the new Cheeky Coffee machine, and hot food. Customers will be able to take advantage of a variety of interchangeable SPAR meal deals that deliver better value to customers at different points of the day.

Shoppers at SPAR Barrowford can now enjoy an expanded selection of fresh produce, with a standout range of vibrant fruits and vegetables, including loose options and mix-and-match deals. The freshly baked bread section has also been enhanced, offering customers a wider variety of daily essentials.
The store’s new entrance design has maximized floor space, creating a more seamless shopping experience. Contemporary refrigeration, lighting, and shelving have further transformed the space, making it brighter, more inviting, and easier to navigate.
Long-time Barrowford resident Lisa Titchiner, who has shopped at the store for 35 years, was impressed by the changes.
"It has always been a classic convenience store, but now it feels like so much more. The range of products is fantastic, and the store feels bright and airy—it’s a huge improvement!"
Fellow shopper Sue Anderson echoed the sentiment, "What a difference! The fresh produce section has a real greengrocer feel, and the hot food area will be a hit with lunchtime customers.
“The staff here are also wonderful. They go above and beyond, they recognise you, and they chat with you at the till which is valued by customers.”
The reopening also reinforced SPAR’s commitment to the local community, with sponsorships for Barrowford Celtic Football Club and Barrowford Cricket Club.
Carl Jeffery, Chairman of Barrowford Celtic Football Club said, “We really appreciate SPAR approaching us as a sponsor and we value being invited down to the reopening of the store which makes it extra special. We use the store regularly as a club and it is great to see it reopened.
“I am especially pleased that SPAR have been keen to support the club’s Academy development and growth of our female football teams which I am particularly passionate about.”
Fiona Drummond, SPAR Barrowford, Company Stores Director, said, “From the moment you walk through the door, SPAR Barrowford has the wow factor. We have transformed our offer and created a warm and inviting community store.
“I was delighted to hear the glowing comments from our customers who had missed it dearly. Stacy and the store team are looking forward to welcoming more of our customers back in over the coming days to discover the amazing new shopping experience they have on their doorstep.”
James Hall & Co. Ltd is a fifth-generation family business which serves a network of independent SPAR retailers and company-owned SPAR stores across Northern England six days a week from its base at Bowland View in Preston.
