The UK Shared Prosperity Fund has provided £3.5m to support Levelling Up in West Lindsey.
Introduction
The UK government has set out an ambitious plan for change, focussed on 5 national Missions: ambitious, measurable, long-term objectives that provide a driving sense of purpose for the country.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) proactively supports Mission-delivery: pushing power out to communities everywhere, with a specific focus to help kickstart economic growth and promoting opportunities in all parts of the UK.
The UK government’s Autumn Budget (2024) announced a further £900 million of funding for local investment by March 2026. All areas of the UK are receiving a further allocation of UKSPF.
The fund has three investment priorities:
- communities and place
- supporting local business
- people and skills
