Welcome
Reframing how UK high streets are understood and improved
About us
About Us
HighStreetPositives is a UK high street intelligence platform combining longitudinal data, stakeholder insight and cross-sector collaboration to create a clearer, more evidence-led view of high street vitality.
We connect data, lived experience and sector expertise to build a shared understanding of what is working in high streets – and how it can be strengthened, scaled and supported.
Our values
Our Core Values
We celebrate the successes, creativity and resilience of the high street; amplifying positive high street news and stories to inspire confidence and investment. By shifting the narrative from decline to opportunity, we hope to encourage greater footfall, innovation and pride in our town centres and high streets.
High Streets are more than just places to shop – they’re vital for community connection, reducing loneliness and isolation. We support initiatives that bring people together and help create relevant, welcoming and inclusive places.
By highlighting creative ideas and innovative approaches, we hope to spark inspiration for what high streets can offer. From fresh experiences to practical services, we champion solutions that meet people’s needs and encourage them to spend time on their local high street.
