26 MAY - ONLINE
You are invited to this important event for VCSE sector organisations in the Tees Valley to contribute perspectives to inform the Tees Valley Combined Authority investment plan for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). MVDA is organising this consultation with VONNE and others as part of the Tees Valley Infrastructure Partnership.
Tees Valley Mayoral Combined Authority is a lead authority for the UKSPF and the allocation for the region is £42,725,676 core funding over three years, with an additional £3,631,629 for the Multiply adult numeracy programme.
Join us online on 26th May to consider the contribution of the VCSE sector to the themes of the UKSPF and how the vital role the sector plays in supporting people and communities in the Tees Valley can inform the Tees Valley Combined Authority investment plan.
Background information
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) announced communities across the United Kingdom will benefit from £2.6 billion of UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) being allocated to help spread opportunity and level up the country.
