What is the Pride in Place Programme?
The Pride in Place Programme is a new government funding programme, aimed at putting power into the hands of local people in some of the most in-need neighbourhoods across the UK, so that they can decide how to regenerate their local area. It gives communities control of £2m every year for the next 10 years, to be spent on projects that will make a real difference to the neighbourhoods they live in. The programme is:
- Long-term: providing certainty and security of funding over 10 years.
- Flexible: allowing communities to spend their funding on the projects that matter most to them, in a way that works for them.
- Community-led: putting local people at the heart of decision-making, with residents able to have their say on the future of their neighbourhood.
- Supportive: empowering people to build the skills and confidence they need to deliver change in their communities, through capacity funding and targeted support activities.
In Nottingham, St Ann's East and Cinderhill and Broxtowe have been selected by Government to receive this funding.
How does it work?
Once areas have been allocated their funding, it is up to the community to decide how it is spent. They will do this by:
- Identifying priorities: Local residents will come together to share ideas and identify the specific needs and aspirations of their communities.
- Establishing a Neighbourhood Board: A Chair identified by the local authority and local MP will recruit and convene a Neighbourhood Board. The Board will work with the wider community to establish which projects they want to prioritise and how they want to spend their funding. The deadline for finalising board membership is 17 July 2026.
- Developing a Pride in Place Plan: Neighbourhood Boards will co-develop a plan with the community, outlining their vision for change over the next decade, and how they will use their funding to achieve their goals.
- Implementing projects: Communities will then work together to deliver the projects they have identified as priorities.
- Evaluating success: As projects develop, communities will be kept up to date with progress, and will be able share their feedback to ensure that projects best meet the evolving needs of each neighbourhood.
