Medway Council is offering grants of up to £5,000 to independent retail and hospitality businesses to improve their shopfronts.
Funded by a £300,000
Pride in Place initiative, the funding can cover cosmetic (paint, signage, lighting) or structural repairs and accessibility improvements to boost high street regeneration.
Shopkeepers and applicants can
apply for up to £5,000 through the
Medway Shopfront Improvement Scheme, and the monies can cover costs such as
repairs,
re-painting and new signage,
lighting, and
small structural improvements.
This support forms part of a collection of schemes from The Council, including Partners for Green Growth (grants up to £2,500) and The Kent and Medway Business Fund (0% interest loans.)
Independent retail and hospitality businesses in Medway are eligible to apply; however, it is advised interested parties or applicants should contact the
Medway Business Support Team prior to submission or for any enquiries (suggesting charities or similar organisations could also qualify.)
The deadline for this scheme is 31st March 2027.
