Last week I attended an event at The Bridge Skills Hub in Worksop to celebrate projects across the district which have been supported by the £3.4 million we secured from the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
It was good to hear from community groups, volunteers and businesses about the positive impact the investment has had on providing an uplift in skills, cultural opportunities, community engagement, and business growth.
We have now secured £1.3 million of UKSPF monies for the year ahead and I thought I would focus this week on how residents and businesses can benefit from this, through the three priorities of Communities and Place, Support for Local Businesses and People and Skills.
