Supporting our communities
Support for communities and place include:
-
Capital funding to improve buildings and facilities and build resilience against flooding
-
Develop green spaces and woodlands within neighbourhoods for recreational and environmental benefit and community well-being.
Town centres
Town councils in Central Bedfordshire are developing investment plans to deliver improvements in their town centres during 2025/26.
Libraries are vital community hubs, bringing people together and giving them access to the services and support they need to live better lives. UKSPF is providing much needed resources to our libraries such as books and magazines to suit the needs of our community, from board books for babies, to manga for teens to large print for those with failing sight.
Community and neighbourhood infrastructure projects
The UKSPF and REPF Community Grant Fund, is a capital grant funding scheme that aims to improve local communities, neighbourhood, buildings and equipment. Read about the first round, which took place in 2023 and 2024.
