Collaboration is key to our work
The key to the success of our projects is collaboration. Working with the city’s creators, businesses, and leaders, we instigate bold new ideas and help amplify existing initiatives.
We recognise that one of the best ways to improve a city is to enhance what is already there. The investment and support of LeedsBID has already elevated many existing city projects, with Leeds International Piano Competition, Leeds Jazz Festival, Leeds Hospitals Charity and Thought Bubble Leeds among those we have worked alongside.
Collaboration also enables us to initiate many new projects, such as Leeds International Festival of Ideas, and our summer animations such as MONOPOLY Leeds Takeover and Leeds Jurassic Trail.
We are an open organisation which believes in the power of collaboration to make things better together. You can find more information on how to contact and work with LeedsBID here.

Collaboration
Case Studies
Leeds Jurassic Trail
The success of working together is illustrated by the UK’s first-ever city centre animatronic dinosaur trail roaring into life in Leeds. By teaming up with Trinity Leeds, Merrion Centre, Victoria Quarter, and Leeds Kirkgate Market, we created a ground-breaking new experience in the city centre that attracted thousands to Leeds throughout the summer months in 2019.
Leeds Piano Trail
A key collaboration that hit all the right notes—LeedsBID joined Leeds International Piano Competition 2018 and the University of Leeds in celebrating Leeds as ‘City of the Piano’, with an orchestra of events, activities, and colourful pianos dotted across the city.
A City Less Grey
The award-winning A City Less Grey—a project delivered in partnership with East Street Arts—made Leeds home to the UK’s tallest piece of street art. The city was named ‘Street Arts Capital of the UK’ by the Sunday Times.
Big Change Leeds
Instigated by LeedsBID and Leeds City Council, with support from Leeds Community Foundation and the business community, Big Change supplies small but essential items which can make such a significant difference to the lives of those in need.
