Camden Future High Streets Crowdfund is an initiative launched by Camden Council, in partnership with civic crowdfunding platform Spacehive. We are seeking to fund the delivery of innovative, forward-thinking projects that support the re-imagining of our high streets and recovery for a sustainable future. High streets at the heart of our communities, and the Council are seeking proposals from local groups and organisations that provide clear benefits to Camden's high streets, businesses and the residents they serve. As part of this crowdfunding programme, as well as attracting pledges from people and organisations with an interest in your project, you can also receive a pledge of up to £35,000 or up to 50% of your costs (up to 75% in exceptional circumstances) from the council. The next funding round is open now with free workshops happening on the 8th of February and the 10th March. Click on the 'Spring Funding ' tab below for more information and to register for the workshops.

YourBikeProject CIC specialises in up-cycling and cycle maintenance, teaching all walks of life within our community how to maintain their bicycles and how to be safe on the roads by teaching cycle safety and cycle provision. We would like to create a Cycle-Hub for the community, enabling local residents from all walks of life access to a Cycle service hub to give their old worn-down bicycles a second life, by maintaining and restoring their bicycles, with parts and services included for free. We want to encourage a more active lifestyle to create a greener Camden High Street by reclaiming our High Street through cycling. We want to empower and offer local people an alternative mode of transport, enabling local people to reclaim their local highstreets. We will be teaching cycle provision and cycle safety on our highstreets to ensure that cyclists understand what it means to be on the roads with other motorists and users, ensuring a greener and safer Camden.
<b>We are awaiting confirmation from the council that we can install the mural. In the unlikely event that this is not approved, all pledges will be refunded.</b> We are creating a beautiful mural that celebrates the beauty of the biodiversity of Latin America. Painted by Peruvian artist Gisella Stapleton, the mural will connect with Kilburn Highstreet through a series of floor art stencils guiding people to us, as well as 2 community workshops about the importance of preserving biodiversity. As well as an evening event to celebrate the mural all together! The design depicts a heart, inspired by the certainty that all of us who live abroad "carry our land in our hearts". It represents elements of the continent from the mountains that stretch across South America, the hummingbird, embroideries, leaves from the Amazonian zones, ceiba flowers from Argentina, the corn that together with the potato is the most consumed food and a combination of Andean, Mapuche, Guarani and Mayan symbols.
