UK Shared Prosperity Programme 2022-25
The Scottish Borders UK Shared Prosperity 2022-2025 programme was introduced by UK Government in December 2022. Its aim was to support the levelling up of all parts of the UK to boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards as well as improve public services, restore sense of community and empower communities.
Local authorities across the UK were given the task of planning and delivering investment within the four investment priorities of Community & Place; Supporting Local Business; People & Skills and Multiply. Scottish Borders secured just over £5m for three years and the programme closed on 31st March 2025.
