UK Shared Prosperity Fund Programme 2025-26

In December 2024, Thanet District Council received notification from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) that the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) has been extended for a final year - April 2025 to March 2026. The aim of the UKSPF extension year is to provide a smooth transition from the existing UKSPF programme to a new, future funding framework, yet to be announced.

 

Thanet has been awarded £546,557 of funding to deliver projects within the priorities of Community and Place; Support for Business; and People and Skills, with Thanet District Council being the lead authority for the programme.
