Funding Opportunities
Pride in Place funding Applications
The Newark Town Board is not currently accepting applications for funding opportunities through the Newark Pride in Place Programme.
In March 2025, the UK Government announced a £1.5 billion initiative known as the Pride in Place Programme (PiPP), investing up to £19.5m in an initial 75 places over the next decade. In September 2025, a further 169 communities were added to the scheme through the announcement of a second tranche of funding, resulting in a total PiPP worth £5 billion.
Community Grant Scheme

- A mix of capital and revenue grants between £20,000 – £100,000 for community organisations in Newark.
- A minimum of 10% match funding was required.
- Projects within the PiPP area for Newark (displayed on this page).
