Pride in Place Programme Projects

The Pride in Place Programme is a ten-year multi-billion-pound UK Government programme aimed at helping build stronger communities, create thriving places and empower local people.

For Newark, this means £20 million of funding and support between 2026 and 2036 to raise living standards, reduce social exclusion, spread opportunities for young people, improve health and wellbeing, build stronger and more cohesive communities, and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

Funding will be issued in three investment windows in which the Newark Town Board will set out their priorities for investment, informed through public consultation and research.

The first investment window is open between April 2026 and March 2030, with the Board’s priorities for investment available to view here: Newark Town Board 4-Year Investment Profile 2026.

Pride in Place Programme monitoring returns are submitted by Newark and Sherwood District Council as the Accountable Body (on behalf of the Newark Town Board) to the UK Government every 6 months.
