Shared Prosperity Fund and Strong Communities Grant Briefing

GVS, in partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council, has arranged a Zoom session to explore and discuss two important funding opportunities available to third sector organisations in the Vale.

The funds are the Shared Prosperity Fund and the Strong Communities Grant. The session will be attended by Nicola Sumner Smith and Helen Blackmore who will provide an overview of each one, including an outline of the funding criteria.

Shared Prosperity Fund

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has allocated around £5 million to invest in the Communities and Place theme over three years from the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF). The SPF is funded until March 2025. This fund is allocated by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
