Leaside Creative Industries Initiative
CIDA ran a one-year project, the Leaside Creative Industries Initiative commissioned by Leaside Regeneration. The project ran to March 2003 and delivered a programme of support to organisations, businesses and individuals regenerating communities through the arts, culture and the creative industries, and helped to develop strategic projects in the area.
The programme aimed:
- to raise the profile and develop the capacity of communities to enable them to benefit from creative and cultural industries development in Leaside.
- connect communities to supply chain and business opportunities in the SRB6 area, London and the mainstream creative industries sector.
- build Leaside's position as a secondary economy to Docklands through increasing the level of investment in creative industries.
- maximise opportunities for economic growth and future sustainability of partnerships, local businesses and community enterprises operating within the sector.
