19/08/2024 - Extension of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund Award made to the Lincolnshire Community Foundation (LCF) for the purposes of expanding the availability of grant funding to Parish Councils, Village Halls and Community Projects
Decision made to allocate £40,000 in
Rural England Prosperity Fund (£36,800) and UK Shared
Prosperity Fund (£3,200) to the current LCF-led GRASSroots
Scheme for the purposes of providing an additional £36,800 in
capital grant aid to small community projects, as well as Parish
Councils and Village Halls. The remainder shall be utilised in the
administration and management of these funds. This augments the
existing scheme, which has a value of £360,130 and allows the
scheme to undertake another, final round of awards (in September
2024) before the end of the UKSPF/RPF Programme (March 2025).
To date, the Fund has delivered 13 individual grants, with nine
projects still in current delivery and four already completed. This
has led to concordant improvements in community facilities,
increased usage of community facilities and an increased number of
local small cultural, heritage and arts projects in Boston
Borough.
