Round Six of The High Street Challenge will open on Monday, inviting proposals for a sixth set of pioneering projects that will help achieve the following goals:

  • Diversify what town centres and high streets offer to attract more people throughout the day and meet changing demands 
  • Transform spaces to attract new customers to the high street and engage people for longer 
  • Improve connections between businesses, residents and community groups to help high streets and town centres to thrive. 

The closing date for applications is 5pm on the 21st March 2017.

This will be the final round of the High Street Challenge.

The fund is open to range of organisations and we welcome partnerships that bring together diverse skills and expertise.  We want to hear from you if you are a:

  • Business network 
  • Group from the arts or creative sectors 
  • Educational establishment such as a school, college, or university 
  • Voluntary sector, community or resident group 
  • Individual business (if representative and supported by other local businesses). 

If you have an inspirational idea, located in one of the borough’s high streets or town centres, that will help shops and businesses to thrive and bring long term benefits to Southwark, we want to hear about it.

On Thursday 23rd February from 8.45am Maudsley Learning at Work will be hosting a briefing session in which expert insights will be shared on ‘disclosure around mental health in the workplace’, experience, guidance and how we can help change workplace culture to improve mental health at work for everyone.

The briefing will be followed by a taster session of our world class, facilitated Workplace Mental Health training which is suitable for individuals at all levels within an organisation to understand, manage and promote mental health. The session will finish at 12:00pm.
