Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities – Long Term Plans for Towns

The government has unveiled 55 towns that will benefit from a £1.1 billion levelling up investment, as part of a long-term plan for towns that provide long-term investment in towns that have been overlooked and taken for granted. 

Under the new approach, local people, not Whitehall-based politicians, will be put in charge, and given the tools to change their town’s long-term future. They will:   

  • Receive a ten-year £20 million endowment-style fund to be spent on local people’s priorities, like regenerating local high streets and town centres or securing public safety 
  • Set up a Town Board to bring together community leaders, employers, local authorities, and the local MP, to deliver the Long-Term Plan for their town and put it to local people for consultation   
  • Use a suite of regeneration powers to unlock more private sector investment by auctioning empty high street shops, reforming licensing rules on shops and restaurants, and supporting more housing in town centres   

More than half the population live in towns, but half-empty high streets, run-down town centres and anti-social behaviour undermine towns in every part of the UK. Today’s announcement marks a change in approach that will put an end to people feeling like their town is ignored by Westminster and empower communities to take back control of their future, taking long term decisions in the interests of local people.   

The ‘Long-Term Plan for Towns’ is designed to complement the wider levelling up programme, working alongside funding for specific projects across the UK, our targeted support to the places most in need through Levelling Up Partnerships, and initiatives supporting economic growth in wider city regions like investment zones.  

The Long-Term Plan for Towns will require town boards to develop their own long-term plan for their town, with funding over 10 years and aligned to the issues that research shows people want the most, including:  

  • Improving transport and connections to make travel easier for residents and increase visitor numbers in centres to boost opportunities for small businesses and create jobs
  • Tackling crime and anti social behaviour to keep residents safe and encourage visitors through better security measures and hotspot policing    
  • Enhancing town centres to make high streets more attractive and accessible, including repurposing empty shops for new housing, creating more green spaces, cleaning up streets or running market days   

Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea are two of the 55 towns receiving the funding.

Eastbourne Shopmobility – National Lottery Community Fund Awards for All

Eastbourne Shopmobility has been awarded £9,159 by the National Lottery’s Awards for All programme.

The charity, based in Eastbourne’s Beacon Centre, provides manual and powered wheelchairs and scooters so everyone of all ages can enjoy independence outdoors. 

They will use the grants to enable people with a temporary or permanent disability to enjoy Eastbourne’s Town Centre shops, community facilities and the seafront.  

The charity’s service is also supported with £4,000 from the Chalk Cliff Trust and £500 from the Mrs A Lacey Tate Charitable Trust.

National Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF)

The funding from the national Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF) towards East Sussex County Council (ESCC) has been awarded following a successful joint bid with Lewes District Council and Eastbourne Borough Council.

The government said the LATF is an offer for local authorities to restore tree cover in non-woodland areas which may have been impacted by issues such as disease.

The grant (almost £300,000), from the third round of funding for this scheme, brings the total amount secured by ESCC from the government’s LATF over the last three years to nearly £900,000.

Urban trees have a huge range of benefits, both for wildlife and for people, and this funding will see over 120 street trees planted in the towns of Seaford, Lewes and Eastbourne.

The project will also include the planting of up to 20,000 trees on the downland fringes between Eastbourne and East Dean and the planting of a number of trees in Chailey parish. Many of the trees planted will be looked after by the volunteer groups Trees for Seaford and Friends of Lewes.

The project will be delivered over two years, starting this winter, and allows for three years of maintenance to ensure the successful establishment of the trees.

Natural England

A £14.5 million-sum will be shared among the schemes that are hoping to revive some of England's most rare and threatened species from butterflies, bird and bees to the large marsh grasshopper, white-clawed crayfish and water voles.

Wildlife projects were awarded in the region, including a grant to Groundwork South to increase the resilience of rare bee species in Hastings, to create specialised habitat appropriate to oak mining, tormentil mining, long horned brown-banded carder bees. They will achieve this by creating new areas and improving the diversity of wildflower meadows, improving woodland edge habitat, restoring and planting new hedgerows and making improvements to amenity grassland to increase their scope for foraging.

Peacehaven Town Council – Football Foundation

Peacehaven Town Council have been awarded £56,000 worth of funding over the next 6 years from the Football Foundation Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund, providing six-year tapered grants to help eligible organisations enhance or sustain the quality of their grass pitches.

The football pitches were inspected, issues identified and solutions reported.  Funding was then calculated to achieve the expected results.

This will allow the grounds team to improve the fertiliser schedule, over-seed and decompact/aerate the pitches to help improve the grass coverage at no extra cost the residents of Peacehaven.

The pitches are mainly used by Peacehaven Youth FC, covering boys’ and girls’ football from ages 5 to 18.

Rother District Council – Community Grants

Rother District Council has awarded over £19,500 to local community groups and organisations across the district in the first round of this year’s community grant funding. All the successful projects will enhance the lives of local residents.

A grant of £3,400 will contribute to the cost of new climbing play equipment and physical activity items for Battle Pre-school.

The equipment will be designed to be used both inside and out, and will promote muscle building, healthy exercise and balance skills in the children, as well as risk learning and confidence building. A Tool Station will help with fine motor skills and learning how to share.

Bexhill charity Community Supporters, which aims to promote conservation protection and improve the physical and natural environment for public benefit, has been awarded £10,000 from the scheme.

The grant will go towards funding phase 1 of the Bexhill Beach Garden Project to establish access to the beach at West Parade so people can view the Wave of Hope pebble mural created by Bexhill Creative following the pandemic, and the installation of the first of four planned lily pad seating platforms.

£2,384 has been awarded to Right Path Hiking and Camping Skills, a new community group based in Bexhill which provides opportunities for people who struggle with addiction and mental health to learn how to hike, orienteer and camp in a safe and fun environment.

The group supports its members to get practical skills as well as obtain industry recognised qualifications which can help them into paid employment.

The grant will help towards the costs of training and providing equipment for group members.

The council also agreed an award of £3,802 to Winchelsea Village Hall to reconstruct the interior of the female toilets and provide new facilities including thermal insulation, hygienic surfaces and repairs to the sash windows.

In addition, the Community Grants Scheme Panel has awarded a small value project grant of £312 to Family Support Work, as well as two grants from the Rother Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Grants Scheme to The Hunter Gatherers (£1,000) and the Bexhill Environmental Group (£364).


Information and Guidance

East Sussex in Figures Update – Local Data to Support Funding Applications

East Sussex in Figures (ESiF) provides the latest statistics on the social, economic and demographic character of East Sussex and its communities.

ESiF’s website is undergoing some exciting changes over the next few months. It will be replaced by a new site, which will still provide an up-to-date source for users to easily get to the data and analysis they need. 

The new site will: 

  • Be merged with the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) website, meaning there will be only one place to find all the data people need about East Sussex, including health data
  • Continue to include statistical indicators across topics including Population; Housing; Children’s Education and Social Care; Economy, Skills and Employment; Health & Social Care (Adults); Deprivation; Crime and Community Safety; Environment and Transport; and Society, Arts and Culture
  • Data will be available as reports or profiles for different areas, displaying key indicators as text, charts, maps, and tables

While the team gets the new site up and running, there may be some datasets which are published on the current ESiF site that are not available on the new site.  They will endeavour to help people access this data where possible, and welcome feedback from users about specific datasets which they might like to see included in future.

The ESiF team intend to develop resources similar to the current Evidence for Funding Profile.  They know how important it is for charities, community organisations and social enterprises to access the contextual data they require for preparing bids and applications for funding.

However, it may take some time to ensure that all the resources that you need are available once the new site is launched. Please get in touch if there is a specific dataset which you are looking for.

National Lottery Project Grants changes: You said, we did

National Lottery Project Grants (NLPG) is always open to individuals and organisations, supporting arts, museums and libraries projects. It is made possible thanks to funding from National Lottery players.  

The programme has been around for some time, and every few years they update it to make sure it’s the best it can be for applicants and for the communities the investment serves. They last relaunched NLPG in November 2021 to align with the strategy for 2020-2030, Let’s Create, and to make sure they’re investing in communities that have been underrepresented in terms of public funding from them. 

Since then, they’ve been listening to you about how they can make NLPG more accessible to everyone who wants to apply for the funding. They asked for feedback from a wide range of applicants and you told them that the application form could be clearer and easier to complete. They've been working on some improvements and testing them with the people who gave them feedback.  

From November 2023, if you make an application to National Lottery Project Grants, you’ll use an updated application form and there’ll be updated resources to support you in preparing your application.  

They’ll publish the updated Guidance for Applicants shortly so that you can get familiar with the changes before they introduce the updated application form. Between September and November, you’ll still be able to apply to the current version of NLPG.  

Here’s what you can expect from November…  

Different applications for different funding amounts  

From the autumn, the amount you’re applying for will determine which application form you complete. There’ll be a different application form for:  

  • £30,000 or under 
  • £30,001 to £100,000 
  • £100,001 or over 

You’ll only see questions that you’re required to answer and what we ask you will depend on the amount of money you’re requesting from them.   

More space to describe your project   

In the new application form, they’re giving you more space to describe your project in your own words. They want to hear what your project means to you and those who will be experiencing it.  

Less reading if you’re applying for less funding 

If you’re applying for £30,000 or less, you’ll no longer be required to read the strategy, Let’s Create, to make an application and you won’t be asked to write about how your project contributes to the outcomes of their strategy.  

They’re replacing questions that asked how your project responds to Let’s Create with more practical questions that use clearer language. They’ll use your answers to understand how your project will make a difference.  

Resources to help you apply 

They’re also developing new online resources to help you prepare to apply. They’re bite-sized and aimed at people who are new to applying for Arts Council funding. They cover helpful tips, starting points for project planning, and more. They'll continue to build up more resources over time.  

Website updates   

They’ll make some changes to the website to make sure finding relevant information and guidance is more straightforward.  

They’ll continue to listen to users and make sure the programme meets the need of all applicants and plan to implement further improvements over time.   

Strategic Strands   

They’re refocusing two strands within NLPG – Nationally Significant Projects and Touring Projects.  

At £100,001 and over, Nationally Significant Projects will become Major Projects. It will be refocused on supporting cultural projects of scale and ambition that will help them to deliver the Let’s Create Outcome, A Creative and Cultural Country. It will support projects that help build a cultural sector that is innovative, collaborative and international. 

They’ll stop accepting Expressions of Interest for Nationally Significant Projects on 30th October 2023, and will start accepting Expressions of Interest for Major Projects on 1st December 2023. 

Touring Projects (Regional, National and International) will be refocused on the Outcome, Cultural Communities, and international aspects of A Creative and Cultural Country. It will support projects that help to re-establish and evolve touring ecologies at all scales and disciplines so that organisations and individuals are better able to manage post pandemic and other ongoing economic challenges.

  • Veterans with disabilities
  • Homeless Veterans
  • Female Veterans
  • LGBT Veterans

  • Registered charities that can show experience of supporting veterans. The charity must have been registered with the relevant regulator for at least three years at the time of application and be able to provide published accounts for all three years
  • Registered social housing providers that can show they support veterans

More grant programmes are expected to open under this Fund later in 2023 for larger new build or major refurbishment capital projects.

Funding is intended to support charities in the UK with projects to encourage young people, in particular those between 12 and 18 from disadvantaged backgrounds, to study science subjects and go on to further education or training in STEM related subjects, in particular the area of Material Science. The Foundation considers Materials Science to be science applied to understanding the production, properties and engineering applications of materials. This may be considered from the perspective of physics, chemistry, mathematics or vocational studies.

Most grants are below £10,000.

The foundation wishes to support projects and initiatives that engage young people with material science. The foundation prefers to support smaller projects where it is the sole funder or its contribution makes a real difference.

Items of equipment will only be funded as part of specific programmes of activity.

The deadlines for receipt of applications are 1st December, 1st April and 1st August.

Motability Foundation

In 2022, Motability Foundation launched new grant programmes to provide even more support to disabled people through other charities and organisations who provide transport, help to access it, or research how to make transport accessible.

The programmes are based on research and insight which shows where our grant-funding can have the biggest impact for disabled people.

They help to address the challenges that disabled people face accessing transport right now, while we continue our own research and innovation work into longer-term solutions to make all transport accessible.

They are using £50 million of the donation we received in 2021 to expand our support for charities and other organisations for the next three financial years ending March 2025.

They have six grant programmes available for charities and organisations to apply for: 

Charities and organisations can apply for grants from £50,000 up to £4 million.

Each application will be assessed consistently against the criteria to ensure fair and transparent awarding of funding and to deliver the greatest impact to as many disabled people as possible.

The Royal Countryside Fund - Supporting Rural Communities Programme

The funding is intended to support innovative projects that will create a long-term difference in remote rural areas of the UK.

The RCF seeks to achieve the following outcomes through the programme: 

  • Reinvigorating or developing community networks
  • Improving the health and well-being of socially isolated people
  • Creating a legacy of support and promoting community spirit and cohesion
  • Communities supporting one another through volunteering opportunities
  • Promoting a greener economy by encouraging people to travel less and utilise locally grown and crafted products
  • Rural communities are more resilient
  • Successful community-led solutions

Grants of up to £25,000 over two years are available.

Applications will be accepted from properly constituted, not-for-profit and community-led organisations with an income of less than £500,000 per year, operating in remote rural areas, who can demonstrate how beneficiaries will be drawn from the local rural community.

Applications from groups and organisations with projects in hamlets, villages and small market towns are particularly welcome.

Funding is for community-led projects that are pursuing innovative and strategic solutions to the challenges facing their rural area and which will improve the viability and resilience of their community.

Successful projects will achieve one or more of the following programme aims: 

  • Support people to resolve existing and emerging community issues, circumstances, and priorities in their locality
  • Build rural community resilience
  • Develop innovative and replicable projects
  • Enable leadership and community planning
  • Improve the economic or social resilience of a rural community
  • Reduce isolation for people living in rural areas through improving service provision
  • Create a self-sufficient rural community fit for the future

Projects must also be able to demonstrate community demand and support.

There is particular interest in 'fledgeling' ideas and projects.

Priority is more likely to be given to projects in areas of deprivation or to projects that benefit those most in need within an area of wealth disparity over projects from more affluent areas.

The following are examples of project types that although may be technically eligible, have a lower likelihood of success: 

  • Minor improvements works, such as adding gates, updating signage, pathways, and other access to buildings, sites and scenic areas
  • Crafting, sewing and knitting groups
  • General tree planting projects
  • Solar panels projects where the applicant has not demonstrated exactly how the instillation will help save money and improve efficiency.
  • Heritage projects where the primary focus is on heritage and visitors, rather than providing for the immediate, local community
  • Literary fairs and other events of this nature
  • Projects where the focus is on improving provision for tourists

There are usually two funding rounds per year with applications accepted in the Spring and again in the Autumn.

The Autumn grants 2023 is open until 20th October 2023 (midday).

South Downs National Park Trust – Community Pitch

A pot of around £90,000 is being made available over a three-year period to help kickstart a wave of projects that help the environment and reduce carbon footprint across Lewes, Seaford, Peacehaven, Newhaven and surrounding villages.

A range of organisations are being invited to apply, including community groups, clubs, parish and town councils, social enterprises, community interest companies, charities, schools and businesses delivering non-profit projects.

The initiative, called “Community Pitch” as applicants will need to produce a one-minute video pitch about their idea, is being led by the lottery-backed Ouse Valley Climate Action (OVCA) partnership, with funding for the grants coming from the South Downs National Park Trust.

The Trust is open to all kinds of projects that help the environment in the Ouse Valley. It could be anything from reducing waste and encouraging recycling, to supporting wildlife, encouraging walking or increasing energy efficiency.

Last year OVCA beat over 600 applicants to be awarded £2m from the Community Lottery Fund to create one of the first communities in the UK to fully embrace climate action.

A flurry of activity has been taking place over the past 12 months and there are now 54 separate “mini-projects” that are being progressed and many are led by local community groups and partners.

OVCA is also enabling groups to develop work they are already doing, such as building community gardens, protecting wetlands and promoting community recycling.

Community Pitch applications will go to a shortlisting panel and those successful will have their video uploaded to Crowdfunder to raise their target. At the end of the deadline, those pitches that have reached their target will receive funding from the South Downs National Park Trust, which is the official charity for the National Park.

The deadline for applications is 31st October 2023 (5pm).
