UK Shared Prosperity Fund
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund, part of the UK Government’s commitment to communities, allocated £4.3 million to Stirling Council to distribute to local groups and businesses.
The bulk of the funding package, first confirmed in 2022, has been allocated for 2023/24 and 2024/25 following a rigorous application process against three investment priorities:
- Community and Place – fostering a sense of local pride and building resilient, healthy and safe neighbourhoods
- Supporting local business – creating jobs, promoting networking and increasing private sector investment
- People and Skills – supporting adults to progress in work, supporting people to overcome barriers to work and supporting local areas to fund gaps in local skills provision
Previously funded projects via the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Structural Fund (ESF) were pre-approved for a funding allocation to ensure continuity of existing business and employability support.
In total, 29 projects have now received confirmation of financial support (see the full list below)
