About the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF)

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a central pillar of the UK government's Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment across the UK by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK, investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.’

We were awarded £5.8 million in January 2023 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) which is part of the government's Levelling Up agenda.

The funding is designed to support existing Levelling-Up activity that would have been lost by the ending of EU funding.

Activities funded by the UKSPF align with other local Levelling-Up activity including:

• Opportunity Bucks
• Local Skills Improvement Plan
• Multiply

We have developed an Investment Plan with partners and stakeholders across Buckinghamshire.

We will continue to work with these organisations to decide how we use the funding.

The UKSPF has three investment priorities.

The total funding allocation for the three investment priorities (over the 3-year period) is:

• Community and Place, £1,984,310
• Supporting Local Business, £1,984,310
• People and Skills, £1,800,000
