To ask Her Majesty's Government how much has been (1) allocated to, and (2) spent by, the (a) Community Ownership Fund, and (b) the Community Renewal Fund, in each year since their creation; and which projects have received funding.

The government has so far allocated almost £8m from the Community Ownership Fund and £220m from the one-year Community Renewal Fund to places and projects across the UK. Successful bids for the Community Renewal Fund were announced on 3 November 2021. The first batch of successful projects from round one of the Community Ownership Fund were announced in October 2021 with further announcements made December 2021 and March 2022. To date £125m has been paid to projects from the Community Renewal Fund and over £2.3m from the Community Ownership Fund. Details of all successful bids, from both funds, can be found on gov.uk.
