Sydenham, Kirkdale and Forest Hill have been successful in the 2nd round bid for Portas Pilot funding
We received the call yesterday and we’re all really excited about initiating our planned projects.
Key elements of the bid were:
1. Jack and Jill Community Hubs
2. The Shop Revolution
This is the idea that has been evolved by Bake with members of the Empty Shops Group, now known as The Shop Revolution.
12 vacant units renovated and let to an eclectic mix of businesses and organisations as part of large scale pop up project over one month. The aim is to reposition the high streets as a destination for the duration of the project, showcase ideas for using empty shops and to act as a springboard for new businesses.
3. Market Makers
An initiative to develop a range of markets across Sydenham, Kirkdale and Forest Hill with subsidy and incentives for stall-holders.
