Disadvantaged areas hold numerous opportunities for business. Whether it is new markets to increase profitability, developing untapped talent to meet skill shortages, creating jobs or liaising with local businesses, investment in deprived areas brings benefits to both companies and the wider community.
Business involvement is essential to turn around deprived areas and build sustainable communities.
Businesses can contribute to the regeneration of their local communities through involvement in their Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). Business people can bring vital skills to the LSP, such as business planning and expertise together with knowledge of the local economy, which can benefit plans drawn up for the District. Likewise, this can benefit businesses bottom line, through working to improve local skills, helping to reduce crime and improve the physical environment.
