INVESTMENT:

£812,815

Under this key pillar, we aim to enhance future sustainable growth and prosperity across Cheapside by working with our business community to have real social impact on the ground. From wellbeing programmes and volunteering, to training and employment opportunities, CBA will be delivering impact through tangible projects underpinned by community need.

Our spotlight programmes that we will deliver over 2025-2030 are: 

  • Deliver an annual calendar of wellbeing events and opportunities for local workers such as gardening workshops, running clubs, lunchtime concerts, and networking opportunities.  
  • Coordinate local volunteering opportunities, connecting local businesses with community groups, non-profit organisations, and charities. 
  • Support the most vulnerable members of our community through a collaborative approach to ensure sustainable outcomes. 
  • Run employability and upskilling opportunities for young people. 
  • Support for parents enhancing their return-to-work experience.  
  • Bring communities together through events, networking opportunities, and a clear communication strategy. 

These activities are overseen by the ESG Steering Group.
