Managed by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.

Projects should aim to :

  • Deliver capital improvements that benefit local communities
  • Support spaces or initiatives such as community hubs, cultural/creative centres, or community energy schemes
  • Attract future investment from regional or national sources

Project stages:

This programme has been designed to support capital projects which have already progressed beyond the feasibility stage. We are not funding early-stage or pre-feasibility work through this programme.

This programme will support:

Development-stage projects: Projects that have completed a feasibility study and are now taking the steps towards submitting a planning application. This typically includes design development, cost planning, and technical preparation. (RIBA Stages 2 – 3)

Delivery-stage projects: Projects that already have planning permission and are ready to begin construction or implementation. (RIBA Stages 4 – 5)

The funding is available through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is open to applications from a wide range of community-led projects.

Applications for project development support are open now. Find out more and apply on the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority website.
