Could your organisation get ‘Levelling Up’ funding?

Funding from £10,000 to £250,000 is on offer for projects to benefit local communities across Cardiff.

The UK Government ‘Levelling Up’ money is available to organisations that can show they can deliver projects which benefit local communities, build pride in place, bring economic benefits, and are in line with both the required criteria and Cardiff Council’s ‘Stronger, Fairer, Greener’ policy.

The eligible organisations are:

1. Local authorities and other public sector bodies

2. Private sector companies that deliver projects

3. Voluntary and third sector organisations

4. Further education and higher education colleges and institutions.

All schemes that receive funding must be delivered between October 2023 and March 2025, and applications must be submitted to the council by midday on 18 August this year.

Leader of the council, Huw Thomas said: “The applications … will be judged against a range of policies including the Stronger, Fairer, Greener policy and Cardiff’s Wellbeing Plan, as well as the eligibility criteria which is set by UK Government.

“We hope as many eligible organisations apply, so we can direct this funding to where it is needed most so that we can make a difference to local people and benefit local communities.”
