The Government has allocated around £1.9 billion throughout the UK through the Levelling Up Fund, Community Renewal Fund and Community Ownership Fund, including £191 million in Scotland, £169 million in Wales and £61 million in Northern Ireland since October 2021. Over its lifetime, the £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund will invest at least £800 million across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Once launched, every place in the UK will receive a share of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, recognising that even the most affluent parts of the UK contain pockets of deprivation and need support. Allocations for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will be included in the Prospectus to be published later this Spring.
