Latest: Projects in Conwy are benefiting from funding from the UKSPF Conwy Community Regeneration Key Fund.
The fund is now closed. We received a high number of applications - over 90 applications, valued over £10m were received, substantially more than the available funding.
Applications were received from community focused organisations to deliver projects across Conwy that address local needs and contribute to building ‘Pride in Place’ and ‘make a visible difference’ through the Communities & Place Investment Priority of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Some of the core Shared Prosperity Fund has been committed to the establishment of Key Funds for supporting Community Regeneration projects, along with ‘Supporting Local Businesses’, ‘People and Skills’ and ‘Voluntary Sector’ Key Funds.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is part of the UK Government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025.

- The timescale for delivery of the UKSPF is short; this means that all projects will need to be completed and final claims submitted by 30 November 2024 at the very latest, to allow time for closure of the programme.
- The eligible period for expenditure under the UKSPF began on 1 April 2022. Applicants may therefore include an element of retrospective expenditure within their applications. Note that any expenditure incurred by applicants prior to signing a grant funding agreement will be entirely at their own risk.
- In submitting an application, you will authorise the Council(s) to make any necessary enquiries to check any information that is required for the administration of the UKSPF programme. The information you provide may also be shared with others as stated within the following privacy notice: Privacy Statement
