Transforming Hyndburn

UK Shared Prosperity Fund

Hyndburn have submitted their bid for £2.9 million from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). Part of the Government’s levelling up, this funding is aimed to overcome geographical inequalities that have held places like Hyndburn back for too long. The funding aims to restore pride in place, empower local leaders and communities – through a stronger social fabric to create better life changes. If the bid is successful, the funding will be utilised until April 2025 to bring a wide range of support and initiatives to Hyndburn. Working with a stakeholder board and consultants Hyndburn Council have submitted proposals for the funding which include creating a masterplan for the future of Accrington Arndale Centre, a full and innovative events programme, an arts, cultural and heritage strategy and a programme of business support.
