UK Shared Prosperity Fund

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF or the Fund) is a central pillar of the UK government’s ambitious Levelling Up agenda and a significant component of its support for places across the UK.

North Lincolnshire has been allocated funds through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) as part of the Levelling Up agenda. The fund will target where there is a need to create and build pride in place, support the business sector, and increase life chances through personal development and training to access employment. The fund will invest in three investment priorities: communities and place, support for local businesses, and people and skills.

We are anticipating confirmation of the Rural England Prosperity Fund in the near future. This call includes an indicative allocation from these funds which will be confirmed in due course.

The current call is for projects under the Community and Place and Local Business interventions for the current financial year (2023/24). All projects must be financially completed by 31 March 2024 and the proposed outputs achieved and evidenced by 31 March 2025. There is no guarantee of continued funding into year 3 at this stage. There will be an opportunity to apply for funds for year 3 (2024/25) in future funding calls.

All applications need submitting via e-mail before 5pm on Monday 8 May to ukspf@northlincs.gov.uk.
