The closing date for the Mayor of London’s High Street Fund which offers up to £20,000 of funding to high streets improvement projects, using a crowdfunding approach, with a closing date of 29 June.
Spacehive and the Mayors High Street Fund write:
We want to back your ideas for making London’s high streets even better places to visit, live in and do business.
Our Fund is here to help any local organisation – from Town Teams, charities and business improvement districts to community groups – to crowdfund projects that improve high streets.
Crowdfunding allows anyone to pledge money to your project. If enough people support your idea, you can quickly raise the money you need to make it happen.
To help you hit your target we are able to pledge up to £20,000 to eligible projects.
Find out if you’re eligible for a pledge (the next time we pledge will be in August, but to be considered, you need to have your idea up on the website and verified by Monday 29th June).
Last time we pledged on Spacehive we made some amazing projects happen together. I can’t wait to see what creative and brilliant projects you come up with next!
London’s high streets are at the heart of all of our communities. They have been under great pressure in recent times from retail parks and Internet shopping, but we believe that they have a crucial role to play in daily life; they are the heartbeat of our business community and the place where the distinct culture and character of our great city really comes to life.
Londoners are bursting with great ideas for making high streets better. We want to back the best so we can boost local economies across the capital, create jobs, and celebrate local diversity and creativity.
