	Partnership Hastings and St Leonards Town Centre Management is an independent partnership of key organisations and businesses building attractive, safe and thriving town centres and working to ensure they meet the needs of all who use and invest in them. We work with the Council and other key partners to improve and promote town centre attractions and amenities. We arrange events that attract shoppers and visitors to the town centres, such as the annual Christmas festivals and continental markets. We provide grants and assistance for other cultural events and activities that bring life to the streets and provide enjoyment for visitors and the local community. Hastings was the first town in East Sussex to win the prestigious national Safer Shopping Award, thanks to our successful Watch programme. This award is recognition of the effective measures in place within the town centres that help to reduce crime and ensure a safe shopping environment. Working to ensure a thriving economy and attractive physical environment in the town centres are other important aspects of our activities. Through our Town Centre Improvement Programme we offer grants and other support to help new shops and businesses get established, and existing businesses grow and adapt. Funding for our activities comes from the EU and the UK government, our major sponsors, and from the more than 100 town centre businesses who are members of the Town Centre Management partnership.
