Pride in Place programme for Thamesmead Birchmere Park

About Pride in Place

Pride in Place is a Government community programme that empowers local people to shape the future of their neighbourhood.

Supported by up to £5 billion in funding over 10 years, this programme represents a long-term strategy to fix the foundations in hundreds of communities across the country.

Pride in Place Strategy objectives

The Pride in Place Strategy has three core objectives:

  1. To build stronger communities – All places should have strong relationships and a collective sense of belonging to their community. This helps bring people together to build community cohesion and resilience, helping people to feel proud of their area and safe in their neighbourhood.
  2. To create thriving places – Every part of the UK deserves to have vibrant neighbourhoods and communities with busy high streets, a good range of local amenities and high-quality physical infrastructure.
  3. To empower people to take back control – Everybody should be empowered and in control of their lives and have a say over the future of their community.
