Barnsley Council are supporting businesses across Barnsley through the Retail, Leisure & Hospitality Support Programme.
Barnsley Town Centre and the Principal Towns have seen significant investment of the last decade, which has led to our borough being a vibrant place that attracts significant footfall and has a strong retail, leisure & hospitality sector.
However, like all town and city centres across the country we are impacted by global economic factors that are outside the Council’s control. To help address this, we are offering a range of business support to organisations in the sectors though dedicated one to one sector expert support, a range of workshops, and advice on how to navigate the recent changes to the law that have higher impacts on businesses in this sector.
A business advisor will be in touch with all businesses eligible for the support, but if you are needing support now or have a question, please email business@barnsley.gov.uk or complete the contact form below and we’ll get in touch with you as a priority.
