2: Work together

You’ll need to work collaboratively with other local organisations to be effective. That means sharing skills and resources. Working together for common purpose will achieve more than any one player can do alone.

Regenerating your town centre collaboratively will create opportunities for more people to join in. Involving community groups, social enterprises and residents will have particular benefits for health and wellbeing, tackling loneliness, empowering communities and reducing inequalities.

There are immense benefits in working with the local community as a partner – it’ll mean more buy-in, more support and more opportunities to secure outside funding.
