How to participate

Better Bankside is powered by the people of Bankside.

We’re an organisation of innovators and do-ers, continually seeking new ways to involve the Bankside community in the co-creation and ideation of our programme. Our success relies on your participation.

Thanks to a constant dialogue with our membership, our programme continues to evolve in response to the needs of Banksiders. Looking ahead to 2030, we have developed strategies to ensure we foster a Stronger, Greener and Happier neighbourhood.
