The village hall and community buildings grants programme has now closed to new applications.

Over £800,000 has now been committed to 33 projects aimed at:

• increased accessibility in key community buildings across North Yorkshire
• the completion of much needed refurbishments to village halls and other important community assets
• repairs to ensure the longevity of key community assets in the local area
• new volunteering opportunities and new community events, to increase the number of people who can now use these assets

Although UKSPF has now drawn to a close, there is still help available to community organisations. Within the council, you can get in touch with the North Yorkshire Council localities team for advice, they are contactable by emailing stronger.communities@northyorks.gov.uk

If you wish to explore further funding avenues outside of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, you can visit the Community First Yorkshire Community Support website and the funding information provided, you might like to register to receive their regular Funding Bulletin on the Community First Yorkshire Community Support website. Alternatively, for help with other aspects such as finding the right fund, application writing, policy documents or general support, you can email them at communitysupport@communityfirstyorkshire.org.uk.
