The aim of the Worcester City Council Retail Enhancement Grant scheme is to support businesses that are planning to occupy empty retail units or make improvements to the internal appearance, frontages and/or accessibility of occupied retail units across Worcester City. The retail unit can be used for a variety of purposes such as retail, hospitality, leisure, personal care services or provision of financial services. Eligible expenditure can include building works, premises refurbishment, fixtures and fittings, signage, installation of ramps and other associated costs which either bring the empty unit back into use, or improve the internal appearance, frontage or accessibility of occupied units. Businesses/organisations must have the ability to make a ‘cash’ match funding contribution of at least 50% towards the costs of the proposed project/investment. Please note, any items purchased, or purchases initiated (for example orders placed) prior to the date of the grant acceptance offer letter will not be eligible for grant funding.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The Retail Enhancement Grant is part of Worcester City Council’s allocation of £2.96m.
