Vacant to Vibrant scheme for Belfast city centre
Funding is still available for commercial property owners keen to take city centre spaces from vacant to vibrant
Belfast City Council's Vacant to Vibrant Capital Grant Scheme aims to bring vacant Belfast city centre spaces back into use and support the city centre’s revitalisation.
Grants from £2,500 to £25,000 are available to cover external and internal works, including equipment to make the property fit for use.
Further support
Applicants will also benefit from wraparound support from the council’s Enterprise and Business Growth team, providing resources to support the start-up or expansion of the business or organisation, including access to one-to-one mentoring and workshops to help with growth and long-term sustainability.
To be eligible for funding, the city centre property must have been vacant for at least 12 months.
To find out more and apply for the scheme, email vacanttovibrant@belfastcity.gov.uk to request an application pack containing the guidance notes, application and relevant templates.
The Vacant to Vibrant Capital Grant Scheme is available until funding is fully allocated.
