Greater London Authority UK Shared Prosperity Fund

The UKSPF is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6bn of funding for local investment across the UK by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK by investing in communities and place, supporting local businesses, people, and skills.

£38.1m is being invested in the UKSPF People and Skills investment priority, which will help reduce the barriers some people face to employment and support them to move towards employment and education, supporting local growth. This focuses on two target groups: supporting young people and economically inactive Londoners.
