UK Shared Prosperity Fund Programme – funding available for Northeast Hastings Projects

In March this year, the extension of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Programme was approved by Cabinet, following Hastings Borough Council being allocated a further £473,873 additional government funding to support the previous 12-month funding, which was announced in the Autumn Budget in 2024

Projects delivering in Northeast Hastings will benefit from the additional funding and further details on the 12-month programme and projects will be published here shortly.

The council are seeking proposals for projects up to £10,000 to be awarded to businesses and organisations already operating in Northeast Hastings. Projects can be revenue or capital but should support the local community and will need to be completed by March 2026. There is limited funding remaining within the programme and a limited timescale for proposals and for awarding funds.

Who can apply?
Organisations or businesses already operating in Northeast Hastings
