天涯社区 is pleased to announce that 23 projects have been awarded funding from UK Government鈥檚 Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and will receive just over 拢11 million.
The Council, along with the other North Wales local authorities, invited applicants to submit project proposals back in February. The fund was heavily over-subscribed with over 90 applications requesting nearly three times the 天涯社区 allocation.
Following a series of robust appraisal and assessment exercises the final shortlist has been approved and projects given the go-ahead to proceed.
A wide variety of projects will be delivered over the next 14 months which align to the UKSPF main priorities of Communities and Place, Supporting Local Businesses, People and Skills as well as improving adult numeracy through the Multiply programme.听
