Our Services
High Street Health Checks
When empty shops start appearing on your high street and footfall drops, local authorities and BIDs often don’t know where to start to reverse the decline. We can help by providing you with a comprehensive evidence base from which you can formulate a plan with targeted interventions to breathe confidence back into ailing town centres and provide businesses with the support they need.
Engage
Plans made with the communities that they affect are most likely to be successful, lead to innovation and creativity, and result in less controversy. We can help by providing you with a bespoke engagement package that reaches wide-ranging audiences including marginalised groups and young people. Getting under the skin of communities and winning hearts and minds is our speciality using a number of face-to-face and digital activities.
Assess
Data is key to understanding your town - it’s heritage, current challenges and future ambitions. We can gather, analyse and present your data in a simple, easy-to-understand way that will inform your strategy and identify objectives and outcomes for your plan.
Town Plans
In challenging times, the most successful towns are those that have a clear vision and an understanding of what they want to be. Towns with a plan, especially those created by multiple partners and community members, are the most successful. We specialise in working with local authorities, town teams and communities to understand their town and support them in creating a workable vision and plan that galvanises everyone under a shared ambition. We believe in realistic and deliverable short, medium and long-term outcomes and interventions and support with funding streams and applications.
Governance and Delivery
Local authorities are increasingly stretched, so working together with private and third-sector organisations is becoming increasingly important. With political thinking and policy leaning towards community-led regeneration and renewal, we can support you in establishing Community Interest Companies and the like, from structure, governance, and purpose to the submission of your application and plan of activities for the future. We can then help you apply for funding from the many different pots available.
