This fund is about levelling up opportunity and prosperity and overcoming deep-seated geographical inequalities that have held some areas back for too long.


It is also, fundamentally, about levelling up people’s pride in the places they love and seeing that reflected back in empowered local leaders and communities, a stronger social fabric and better life chances.


This is the vision and ambition for the new £2.6 billion UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). This money is going straight to local places right across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to invest in three local priorities: communities and place, support for local businesses and people and skills.
