GVS in partnership with The Vale of Glamorgan Council invites you to a discussion about the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and what this means for the Vale of Glamorgan. As one of the key investment priorities is ‘Community and Place’ this would be a great opportunity to discuss how our voluntary sector in the Vale can utilise this fund to deliver some great outcomes over the next three years.
