About the Partners in Investment Fund
Through the government's Pride in Place Impact Fund, we've been given £400,000 worth of funding to support up to 2 major delivery-ready capital projects. These projects will need to cost a minimum of £1 million and begin construction this year.
The fund will offer gap funding to support large-scale, mixed-use re-development that will have a visible, transformative impact on Medway’s town centres, with a priority focus on Gillingham town centre.
Proposals must be advanced, shovel-ready and able to deliver lasting economic, social and placemaking benefits.

What we were looking for
We welcomed applications for projects that brought vacant or under-used properties back into active use.
Projects also needed to support one or more of the following objectives:
- improve the appearance and condition of commercial or mixed-use buildings
- increase economic activity within town centres
- create new opportunities for businesses, residents and visitors
- support the long-term resilience and attractiveness of town centre locations
- deliver wider social, economic and community benefits.
Projects should have demonstrated a clear contribution to the regeneration of Medway's town centres and provide lasting benefits beyond the funding period.
