The BID have created a brand new fund for our BID Levy payers to access called the Upskilling Grant. 

Colne BID Upskilling Grant, a grant of up to £500 is available to Colne BID levy paying businesses for training courses that help you upskill and create additional services to your business. Colne BID could issue a grant of up to £500 or half the cost of the course, whichever is lower, as a grant. The business is expected to contribute at least 50%. For example, for course fee of £1000, up to £500 would be paid by Colne BID and £500 by the business. In the case of over subscription, applications will be assessed by Colne BID board. Applications will be assessed on positive enhancements to businesses located in Colne BID area, contributing to the ‘services’ of the BID area under the ‘promote’ business plan objective
