Vibrant District Fund

LQ BID has established a £100k pot which we will use to co-fund 50% of the costs (max £5000) of initiatives from levy payers who want to do something to improve the vibrancy of their workplace or the wider district.

You can use the form at the link below to submit a request, which will then be considered by the LQ BID Board.
