The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have announced a £110m Rural England Prosperity Fund that will help support communities in the UK countryside.
The funding will be invested in initiatives that improve productivity, create rural job opportunities, and boost prosperity. Such investment could be ringfenced for farm businesses looking to expand by opening a farm shop, wedding venues, tourism facilities, as well as renovations for pubs, village halls and other rural hubs vital in their local communities.
The investment will be in addition to the 2.6bn provided through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to further back levelling up efforts in the UK. Click here to read the rest of this article.
