UK Shared Prosperity Fund in Sandwell – Briefing for the Voluntary Sector

by Leona

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a central pillar of the UK government’s ambitious Levelling Up agenda, replacing previous European Union funding streams, and is a significant component of government support for places across the UK. It will provide £2.6 billion of new funding for local investment by March 2025, with all areas of the UK receiving an allocation via a funding formula rather than a competition.

In Sandwell the Council are preparing for the commissioning of funds for the People and Skills strand for year 3 delivery (Apr 24 -Mar 25) . SCVO, in partnership with Sandwell Council, are inviting voluntary sector organisations who deliver employment and skills or placed-based support to residents in Sandwell to attend a briefing event where they can find out more.

This briefing is a chance for Sandwell’s Voluntary and Community Sector to:-

• Find out more about UKSPF.

• Hear about the types of activity and priorities the local authority are looking to commission.

• Understand the process for how this funding will be commissioned along with relevant timescales.
