The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda. It will provide £2.6 billion of funding across the UK for local investment by March 2025.
The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK by investing in:
communities and place
supporting local business
people and skills
Every part of the UK receives an allocation for the 3 years 2022 to 2025. The amounts were decided via a funding formula.
Brighton & Hove receives an allocation toward both core UKSPF funding and the Multiply adult numeracy programme.
The city has been allocated £1,766,076 core funding and £917,932 for Multiply. BHCC is making some of this funding available as grants, to be awarded directly to local community organisations and small businesses.
