 The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) 2025–2026 was launched by the UK Government. Burnley Borough Council in partnership with Lancashire Combined County Authority launched the Burnley Community Grant Scheme for a fourth year. The investment priority was ‘Communities and Place’ focusing on healthy, safe and inclusive communities. The sub themes were: healthy - improve health and wellbeing; safe - reduce crime and the fear of crime; inclusive - bringing communities together, and tackling homelessness; and development of the visitor economy. Burnley Borough Council appointed Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS) to administer a fourth year of community grants to voluntary, community, and not-for-profit organisations, under the priority of ‘Community and Place’. Over the final one-year programme, 13 organisations delivered 13 projects, which included capital improvements, sports and physical activities, community engagement, and arts initiatives. The programme achieved its aims, with most targets exceeded. Key achievements included increased community engagement, improved access to local services, and enhanced physical environments. Only one key outcome was not met: ‘number of premises with improved digital connectivity as a result of support’ - no project application was received that aimed to meet this outcome.
