The UK Community Renewal Fund

The UK Community Renewal Fund (UKCRF) was launched by the UK government on 3 March 2021 as part of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s budget.

It was presented in a Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) press release as forming part of a wider package of fiscal measures the Government is taking to “support our economic recovery from the pandemic, level up communities, and help vulnerable people”.

The UKCRF has an allocation of £220m and will run between 2021-22. This Briefing Paper seeks to examine this new funding stream and its potential for cross-border initiatives. The paper is available to download, below.
