Multiply is aimed at adults aged 19 and over who do not have a GCSE grade C or equivalent in Maths.
The timescale for delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is short; in practice, all projects will need to be completed and final claims submitted by 31 December 2024, to allow time for closure of the programme. Applicants can include an element of retrospective expenditure within their application from 1 April 2023 otherwise, consider a start date of no earlier than 1 January 2024
Considering the short period available for delivery, the Local Partnership will be seeking to support a relatively small number of larger, strategic projects.
The maximum budget available within this priority area for 2023/24 is within the region of £750,000.
The maximum budget available within this priority area for 2024/25 is within the region of £850,000. Expenditure for 2024-25 will be approved in principle. This will be dependent upon UK Government approving Powys County Council's funding allocation for 2024-25 which will not be confirmed until next financial year.
UKSPF is predominantly a revenue fund, however elements of capital can be included within project expenditure. Applicants can choose to submit revenue only projects or projects seeking a combination of both.
Operating in compliance with the new UK subsidy control regime which began on 4 January 2023, will be a key requirement for any project. All applicants should familiarise themselves with the requirements of the regime: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/subsidy-control-regime
Applicants will be required to detail how the proposed activity will align and support other local, regional or national strategies. Please see page 29 of the Mid Wales Investment Plan for examples.
In submitting an application, you will authorise the local authority/authorities to make the necessary enquiries to check any information that is required for the administration of the UKSPF programme.
There is a one stage application process. Applications will be accepted from 02/10/2023 until 23:59 on 29/10/2023. Completed applications will be appraised by the Powys Local Delivery Team and the Powys Shared Prosperity Fund Local Partnership.
