5. Grant Schemes
What grant schemes are available under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund?
Funding from the Action on Poverty, Net Zero Innovation, and Sustainable Tourism projects - along with funding received from the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) - has been allocated to the following three grant schemes:
Action on Poverty Fund - Grants to support community-led ideas and initiatives to help reduce poverty. UKSPF funding will allow us to extend this (currently council-funded) scheme into 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Culture, Leisure and Tourism Fund - Grants for community organisations with a culture and leisure focus to purchase equipment to decarbonise their premises. Grants for a limited number of tourism businesses to decarbonise or improve their accessibility. This fund combines both UKSPF and REPF funding for 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Innovation and Resilience Fund (Round 2 and 3) - Grants for rural businesses, farms and businesses with a net zero focus to purchase equipment which will enable job creation or improved productivity. This fund combines both UKSPF and REPF funding for 2023/24 and 2024/25.
