Harrogate BID is relaunching a popular match funding grant scheme to support the town’s business community with store front and accessibility improvements.
Every year, the Business Improvement District (BID) provides the match funding to its member businesses.
It’s often used to support with improvement works, helping to not only create a great first impression for visitors to the town, but allowing residents and businesses to ‘take pride in their place.’
Bethany Allen, Harrogate BID Operations Manager, said:
“By continuing the match funding grant to help spruce up Harrogate’s shop fronts, we can ensure a fantastic first impression of the town.
“All of our levy-paying members are eligible to apply for this grant to enhance their shopfronts or improve their accessibility.
“We’re proud to say that many businesses benefit from this grant every year and we’re keen to continue with this support.”
The organisation will provide match funding up to £750 towards these works.
All members within the Harrogate BID area are eligible to apply for the grant, which is available on a first come first served basis.
The grant offers investment into repairs and redecorations of entrances and fronts, refurbishment or replacement of graphics and signage and improvements on accessibility including the installation of ramps, handrails or automatic doors.
Any businesses wishing to submit a request for a grant should email info@harrogatebid.co.uk with a short description of the proposed work, any equipment needed, the expected completion date and any quotations.
