Join Platform Places as a community leader
Want your high street run by — and for — your local community? We support you to unlock town centre buildings for amazing ideas.
Transform your town centre
We connect you with your council and asset owners to bring town centre buildings into long-term community use and ownership.
Nominate your neighbourhood for our programme of Local Property Partnerships.
-
We help to bring the council and landlords to the table if they aren’t already – showing them the benefits of this approach
We empower local voices and vision, whilst offering a tried-and-tested process and inspiration from what’s worked elsewhere – through a peer mentor
We help with access to suitable funds and trusted technical expertise so your Partnership can purchase or lease, then activate, multiple buildings
-
You facilitate local people to set the vision, tone and direction for your Local Property Partnership
You bring other community stakeholders to the table when relevant
You recruit local leaders to deliver the Partnership’s day-to-day work – acquiring and then activating multiple buildings for local benefit
You represent long-term local interests in ongoing decision-making
A Local Property Partnership needs a passionate, skilled activator like you
