Open across United Kingdom, so every council area in the North of England is shaded.

Drawn from the areas the funder names. If a scheme is only for part of a council area, check its own page. Boundaries from the Office for National Statistics.

Things we could not confirm

  • Eligibility covers charities and CICs; the page says freelancers and sole traders can only partner, so a sole trader cannot lead an application.
  • Project delivery is January to March 2027.
  • Funding decisions are expected in early December.
  • Information webinars are listed on the page but are covered in part 2 of the text if any further detail exists.
