Details

Dumfries and Galloway Council has received funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to support Place Regeneration and Improvement Capital Grants. The fund is designed to support projects that strengthen the economic resilience and regeneration of local communities. It aims to ensure that community-led, place-based projects receive the support they need to contribute to long-term renewal and improve the health and wellbeing of communities across Dumfries and Galloway.

Examples of suitable projects would be those which support:

• Development of local towns, villages and communities;
• Town centre regeneration, including support for local jobs and businesses.

Projects must:

• support place based or town/village centres improvement
• be capital-based
• be capable of starting immediately upon approval
• be delivered within the financial year
• demonstrate that at least 10% match-funding is in place
• have secured ownership or a long lease of the site
• ideally be identified in a place plan or town/community action plan

Please visit the Council website for full guidance on each of the grant schemes.
