Lincolnshire ‘levelling up’ funding opportunities 2021

Lincolnshire is hoping to bid for up to £9m of revenue funding from a new national government fund.

Organisations from the voluntary and community sectors, Higher and Further Education, local councils and business support organisations are being asked to respond to the funding opportunity with ideas to boost local economic recovery and growth.

Ideally applications should be for over £500,000 and they must be able to spend and deliver in full between late summer and 31 March 2022.

On 26 April 2021, Lincolnshire County Council have launched a Community Renewal Fund Invitation to Bid document, seeking innovative bids for funding for local businesses, communities and places, investment in skills and to support residents into employment.

These bids should be locally tailored, align with existing and local provision, contribute to local growth strategies and target people and areas most in need.

Projects can be from across the county – but we’re particularly encouraging those delivering benefits to three of the governments pre-selected priority places of Lincoln, East Lindsey and Boston.

Lincolnshire County Council is administering the fund and will review and select the bids to be submitted to government as a package in mid-June.
