Involving the Local Business Community

At the beginning of 2011 the South West Coast Path Team started a new initiative to involve businesses and other organisations in helping to fund small scale projects that improve the path.

One of the main aims of this initiative is to think local. To encourage businesses and other organisations to get involved in projects which are very local to them, which they can relate to, and which their customers will benefit from.

As far as funding for the projects is concerned the whole emphasis has been to encourage a number of partners to put in relatively small sums of money, or help in kind, which can be used as match funding to encourage others to become involved. A key objective, rather than just asking for support is to identify a range of potential benefits for the business that becomes involved.

We are extremely grateful for the support and help of our Supporters. If you would like to learn more please contact John Slater (South West Coast Path Partnerships)
