Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the impact on community and voluntary groups, delivering services under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, when no funding will be provided after 31 March 2025.

Answer:

As this Department does not have a role in the design and delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, it is not possible to detail the impact of any potential shortfall.

I am aware of, and very much empathise, with the significant concerns of the Voluntary and Community Sector which is supported under SPF and previously ESF.
