Community Grants Scheme
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) was a central pillar of the Conservative government’s Levelling Up agenda. It provided three years funding between 2022/23 and 2024/25 for investment in local areas. The primary goal of the UKSPF was to build pride in place and increase life chances across the UK.
In the Autumn Budget, 2024, the UK government announced the continuation of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) at a reduced level for a further year in 2025/26.
As such, over £110,000 is now available through our Community Grants Scheme to fund community projects within the City of Lincoln, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Investors in Lincoln.
This funding is only available for 2025/26. The deadline for applications is Friday 22 August at 5pm. We plan to have only one application round. However, if funding remains available, a further application round may be launched.
