Worcester BID Enhances Daytime Economy with Extra Summer Initiatives

Worcester Business Improvement District (BID) has rolled out a series of strategic initiatives to boost the daytime economy and support local businesses during the busy summer holidays. Recognising the increased footfall and operational pressures faced by businesses during peak footfall periods, Worcester BID has extended key services and introduced new measures to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for both residents and visitors.

One of the standout initiatives is the enhanced hours of Safe Space operation. Safe Space is typically available between 10 PM and 4 AM on Friday and Saturday evenings, but during this summer break, our Safe Space is now operational every weekday, Monday to Friday, throughout the daytime! This change aims to provide immediate assistance and support to individuals during the peak hours of city centre activity and has already dealt with many medical and welfare support cases.

In addition to Safe Space Worcester's increased availability, Worcester BID has significantly bolstered its standard city safety measures by deploying two additional Safer Streets Officers. These officers will patrol the streets from 9 am to 9 pm, offering extended coverage to deter anti-social behaviour and ensure a secure environment for shoppers and business owners. This proactive approach aims to create a safer, more welcoming atmosphere in the city centre, enhancing the overall visitor experience.

Recognising the importance of engaging younger audiences during the holidays, Worcester BID has also organised a range of youth engagement activities. These activities, available three days a week, include interactive and creative sessions such as colouring, penguin painting in celebration of the Waddle of Worcester Art Trail, and felt making. These activities are designed to keep children entertained, allowing families to enjoy all that Worcester has to offer.

Moreover, The Base will host various activities every Thursday as part of a comprehensive summer programme for 11–17-year-olds. These events contribute to a vibrant and dynamic city atmosphere, providing additional support and engagement opportunities for local businesses and visitors.

By implementing these initiatives, Worcester BID demonstrates its commitment to fostering a thriving local economy and creating a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone. The enhanced security measures and diverse range of activities not only support businesses but also enrich the community experience during the bustling summer months.

For more information on these initiatives and to stay updated on all Worcester BID activities, visit the Worcester BID website and follow us on social media @worcesterbid on Twitter and Facebook, and @makeitworc on Instagram!

The Base X The Granary - FREE THURSDAY'S THIS SUMMER

BID and Lightbox Partner to Launch "The Base"

This summer, the Worcester Business Improvement District (BID) has teamed up with Lightbox to introduce an exciting new initiative called “The Base.” This program is designed to provide a dedicated space for local teenagers aged 11-17, managed by local volunteers.

Starting Thursday, July 25th, The Base will be open weekly, every Thursday, during the summer holidays from 1 pm to 5 pm at The Granary, Worcester. The initiative aims to offer a safe and supportive environment where young people can relax, have fun, and connect with their peers.

The Base will feature a variety of activities to keep attendees entertained. Each week The Base will offer different activities, such as cage football, Xbox Series S gaming tournaments, nail art sessions, and graffiti workshops, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Additionally, table tennis, a pool table, a chill-out zone, and free Wi-Fi will be available each week.

Stephanie Boyd, a volunteer at Lightbox, emphasised the initiative’s goal: “As churches across Worcester, we want to create space and opportunity for young people to connect and know there is a place for them and people here for them. We do this through LIGHTBOX pop-ups in schools, colleges, after-school drop-ins, and collaborative youth events.”

Sam McCarthy, CEO of Worcester BID, shared her enthusiasm for the project: “We are thrilled to partner with Lightbox to create a hub for young people at the heart of our city over the summer. This initiative will provide great opportunities for positive youth engagement and give teens a dedicated, free space during peak footfall times.”

In addition to The Base, BID is also providing activities for younger children at Crowngate Pod, offering arts and crafts sessions from Monday through Wednesday.

If The Base proves successful, the partnership aims to offer more holiday events like this in the future.

No booking is required to attend any sessions at The Base—just pop in with a friend or come and make new ones!

For more information about The Base and other activities, please visit Worcester BID’s social media channels, @worcesterbid, or follow The Base on TikTok @TheBaseWorcs.
