I am thrilled to say that the first round of funding opportunities under the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) is now live on the Cornwall Council ‘Good Growth’ website.
SPF is the UK replacement for Convergence and Objective One EU funding. I am pleased to see Cornwall Council have made the process simple and I am looking forward to seeing the many bids coming in from across North Cornwall.
Cornwall Council is inviting any organisations - businesses, community organisations, public bodies and partnerships - that can contribute to our Good Growth ambitions to come forward with their project ideas for one of the below seven open invitations to bid.
- STRATEGIC BUSINESS, ENTERPRISE AND RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE (£18.7M)
- CULTURE AND HERITAGE-LED REGENERATION AND SKILLS (£10.82M)
- TOWN, RURAL AND COASTAL HIGH STREET DEVELOPMENT AND SKILLS PROGRAMME (£4.4M)
- COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY AND DIGITAL INCLUSION (£1.5M)
- CULTURAL EVENTS AND TALENT PROGRAMME (£4.4M)
- COMMUNITY SKILLS HUBS (£5.198M)
- MULTIPLY CHAMPIONS PROGRAMME (£428,996)
Organisations interested in accessing the SPF must fill in a very simple one-page enquiry form on the website, and after that they will be contacted and offered help and advice going forward.
