<p>This Government is committed to a vision of British society where people - whatever
their background - live, work, learn and socialise together, based on shared rights,
responsibilities and opportunities. Everyone in society has a role to play in ensuring
that we live in a country where anyone can achieve anything, no matter where they
live or come from.</p><p>Through its Levelling Up agenda the Government will help
to bolster community empowerment and support local community spaces and relationships.</p><p>For
example, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) provides £2.6 billion of new taxpayer
subsidy for local investment by March 2025, with all areas of the UK receiving an
allocation from the Fund. One of the Fund's investment priorities is 'communities
and place' which aims to strengthen the social fabric of communities.</p><p>The Rural
England Prosperity Fund (REPF) is a rural top up to the UKSPF, providing allocations
for eligible local authorities in England to help address the additional needs and
challenges facing rural areas. The REPF funds capital projects for small businesses
and community infrastructure. This will help to improve productivity and strengthen
the rural economy and rural communities.</p>
