The Town Centre Small Grants Fund can cover the cost of all, or part of, any activity, event, marketing and promotion of events, that will safely attract people to any of the borough’s town centres and high streets. 

This may include promotional websites, markets and festivities, parades and outdoor performances, pop-up exhibitions, marketing and promotion of existing events or activities. 

This is part of Lewisham Council’s plans to support local businesses and town centres in their recovery from the economic impact of COVID-19. This programme is being funded by the Welcome Back Fund (European Regional Development Fund money which has been provided by the Government to local authorities).
