Back in September 2022 the Government unveiled a £110 million fund to level up rural communities.

Rural businesses such as farms, wedding venues and pubs will benefit from up to £110 million of funding being allocated to support countryside communities across England.

The £110 million will be in addition to  to the £2.6 billion allocated via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to support levelling up across the UK. The fund will be part of the UKSPF and is a rural top-up for eligible local authorities.

The Rural England Prosperity Fund is integrated into the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), which supports productivity and prosperity in places that need it most. Rural England Prosperity Fund funding is available from April 2023 to March 2025.
