Establishing and fostering relationships stands at the forefront of our projects. We support businesses in Cheapside by offering a wide range of programmes to facilitate growth, skills development and the strengthening of existing delivery platforms.
Focusing on close collaboration with the City of London Corporation, our partners, and local businesses to enhance our impact, we strive to create a favourable work environment and foster a sustainable and thriving business community.
Our spotlight programmes that we will deliver over 2025-2030 are to:
- Develop a business networking programme in partnership with the City Belonging Project and others, dedicated to connecting local businesses.
- Provide staff training opportunities across Cheapside, including on demand business training and mental health & wellbeing courses.
- Host Bike Safety Roadshow with more cycle safety pop-ups and workshops.
- Work with the Police on retail theft support schemes, night-time safety initiatives, women’s safety programmes, cyber security and more.
- Creation of a ‘Cheapsider’ welcome pack, featuring an overview of the area, local employee benefits and schemes.
- Deliver our on-street Ambassador programme and business visits.
- Work with the City Corporation to explore improvements for commuters and visitors, particularly around Bank Junction and St Paul’s.
