The UKSPF Conwy Community Regeneration Key Fund is now closed to applications.
We are seeking applications from community focused organisations to deliver projects across Conwy that will address local needs and will contribute to building ‘Pride in Place’ and ‘make a visible difference’ through the Communities & Place Investment Priority of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The fund will consider project applications for all interventions under the Investment Priority area of Communities and Place (W1-W15).
This is an open call for projects delivering in Conwy county.
Projects may apply for grants of between £10,000 and £249,999 and must be complete by autumn 2024.
This round is open for applications until 5.00pm on 22nd September 2023.
There is likely to be a high demand for funding and we do not currently anticipate opening a second round. We may consider extending the deadline for submitting applications should funding still be available.

Conwy County Borough Council has been allocated a total of £24.5m to invest and spend by March 2025. This can be broken down into just under £20.3m core Shared Prosperity Fund and £4.2m for the national Multiply Programme.
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 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
