Visa, in partnership with the British Retail Consortium, recognized six UK towns for their innovative approaches to economic and community growth through the 2025 Let's Celebrate Towns awards. Each winning town receives a £20,000 grant for new or ongoing community projects. The awards highlight the significance of local initiatives in driving economic resilience across six essential areas. This year's recipients, Ramsgate, Gosport, Morecambe, Swanley, Malton & Norton, and Wallsend, have demonstrated leadership in addressing local challenges and promoting inclusive growth.
"We believe that when our towns thrive, the UK as a whole flourishes. Many people live and work in these vibrant communities, making it essential to invest in their growth and development. We are proud to highlight the resilience and innovation that define these towns."
"Our collaboration with Visa highlights the dynamic role of retail in fostering thriving high streets and vibrant local economies. The achievements of these winning towns serve as inspiring examples of best practice."
