UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) case studies

Between 2022 and 2025, London was allocated £144m through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to then re-allocate across three priority areas:

The Mayor invested £62m into 28 local projects, granting funding to London boroughs and London & Partners to support small businesses Londonwide.

This strand of funding is helping to boost small business productivity, encourage growth, and increase job opportunities. 

£38.1m has been invested into the People and Skills priority. It supports local growth, helping reduce some faced barriers to employment and education with a focus on young Londoners and economically inactive and unemployed people.  

London boroughs were awarded funding from two UKSPF investment priorities, Communities and Place and Supporting Local Business.

The Communities and Place investment priority is enabling the restoration and improvement of community spaces. It aims to strengthen the social fabric of communities whilst creating the foundations for economic development at the neighbourhood-level.  

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a central UK government programme, providing funding for cross-UK investment.
