Pride in Place Bentilee and Ubberley
A £20 million investment into your local area.
The government’s Pride in Place Programme is investing up to £5 billion in nearly 250 areas across the UK. Stoke-on-Trent has received funding for 3 areas, of which Bentilee and Ubberley is one. Each area will receive up to £20 million over the next 10 years to make long-term improvements that local people genuinely want.
What is Pride in Place?
This is a real chance for community organisations, residents, and local businesses to work together and make changes that matter.
Pride in Place is led by local people and supported by the UK government, giving communities both the voice and the resources to shape their future.
Communities will be able to use the funding on the things that matter most to them — whether that’s improving pavements and high streets, creating better green spaces, or investing in local culture. This is your opportunity to help create lasting, positive change where you live.
