What we do
We deliver events, projects and services for the benefit of Truro, Truro's businesses and everyone working in the City Centre. Truro BID is a not-for-profit organisation delivering a range of additional services and initiatives designed to raise the profile of the city, attract more visitors, and encourage them to explore all its facilities
As of March 2026, we had 355 businesses included in the scheme, which is estimated to generate around £1.5 million of additional funding for the city from the BID Levy over five years.
We also aim to achieve extra funding to the Levy, which we also invest into the city. In the last financial year to March 2026, we achieved £67,500 of extra funding, mainly through grants (such as Government funding Hot Spot Security Patrols), plus via event sponsorship and renting out parking spaces.
During our fourth term, the Truro BID projects sit within three themes:
- Events and Marketing
- Safety, Security and Environment
- Business Support
