Affiliate
Scheme

All businesses and organisations benefit from the work we do in Sunderland.

Therefore, we have extended many of the benefits our levy payers enjoy to other businesses in the city centre and around Sunderland by creating an Affiliate Scheme.

    Dont Just Take
    Our Word For It…

    Phillipa Breckon – Director – Penshaw View

    “We previously used to be based within the city centre and paid the levy for Sunderland BID. We really valued the support, promotion and business opportunities the BID brought to the table. Since moving out of the city centre and no longer being a BID levy payer, we were approached about supporting the BID as an affiliate member.

    We are proud to be Sunderland BID’s first affiliate member and excited about the opportunities our partnership will bring to help create a vibrant city and more opportunities for everyone.”
