The City of London Corporation funds a wide range of regeneration
projects in the boroughs neighbouring the Square Mile, as well as
developing and commissioning its own initiatives in partnership
with local expert bodies. It also provides in-kind support
(including hosting events, advice and guidance, officer and Member
representation on boards and committees) to a wide range of
organisations delivering regeneration initiatives in the City.
These projects are grouped under the following themes:
In addition to its involvement with regeneration partnerships,
the City of London provides support to a range of organisations
delivering projects in the Square Mile’s neighbouring boroughs. The
assistance provided for regeneration projects is varied, ranging
from grants to organisations and membership subscriptions, to
representation on boards and committees by City of London Members
and Officers and in-kind support, such as hosting conferences.
The City of London supports a diverse range of projects,
covering a range of issues, including business enterprise
and inward investment, education, training and
skills development, employment,
the physical environment and
transport.
The City of London also develops its own initiatives where we
have identified areas of particular need and which relate to our
objectives for the Square Mile. Our flagship initiative, the
City of London Business Traineeship
Programme (CBT), secures paid traineeships of up to 13
weeks in City firms for 17-19 year old school/college leavers of
‘A’ level standard, who are interested in working within the
Financial Services, IT, Legal and Business Administration sectors.
The CBT programme fits in with the City of London’s overall
objective of improving access to City jobs for residents of
neighbouring boroughs.
The City of London recognises the enormous potential for
procurement to stimulate the economies of neighbouring boroughs.
Vibrant and competitive local economies will be an important
contributor to sustainable regeneration in the City fringes and
neighbouring boroughs. The
Local Procurement Project aims to increase the amount of money
that the Square Mile spends in these boroughs.
Coping with the economic downturn

support for individuals and families on a range of issues
including money matters, employment and training and free or low
cost activities and days out can be found on the coping with the
economic downturn pages.
