Launch of the HighStreetPositives Membership Community!

I’m so so excited (and a little nervous!) to let you know that I’ve just launched the HighStreetPositives membership community – a growing space for anyone who cares about the future of our high streets.

There’s a quiet epidemic: disconnection, isolation, and a media narrative that says high streets are in terminal decline.

Only 17% of people think the media is positive about high streets.
That mindset impacts footfall, investment, creativity, and local pride.

But we know the truth is more complex - and much more hopeful.
There are brilliant ideas out there. There are loads of success stories.
Some high streets are navigating change in exciting, creative, community-led ways -Retailers and hospitality are thinking differently, reimagining what physical places can be.
From inspiring pop-ups to independent-led regeneration, to new partnerships and community initiatives – there’s a wave of innovation building.
People are getting involved. Places are being reimagined. And it's exciting.

We just need more spaces to share what’s working – and keep that momentum going.

That’s why I’ve launched this new HighStreetPositives community – to bring together retailers, landlords, BIDs, local authorities, hospitality, community organisations and anyone vested (and/or invested) in the high street – so we can share what’s working, learn from each other, and help shift the narrative together.

You’ll get early access to a community passionate about the success of our high streets, resources, events, case studies, and inspiration – and if you join now, you can help shape what this community becomes.

It’s designed to be affordable and sustainable at £10/month or £100/year. But if that’s a barrier right now, please get in touch - I want to make it as accessible as possible.

Here’s the link to find out more:
Join Us - HighStreetPositives

And if you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to pass it on.

We can’t change everything overnight – but if we can do it together, we can build something powerful.
Let’s rewrite the story of our high streets.

Thank you so much,

Laura
