What is Pride in Place?

Pride in Place is the UK Government’s flagship community regeneration programme. It places decision making in the hands of local communities through resident led Neighbourhood Boards, enabling funding to be directed towards local priorities and long term improvement plans.

The programme focuses on three key outcomes:

  • Thriving places
  • Stronger communities
  • Empowered local people and neighbourhoods

Communities can invest in projects that improve public spaces, support local businesses, enhance cultural assets, strengthen community organisations and improve quality of life for residents.

Supporting Neighbourhood Boards

We work alongside local authorities, Neighbourhood Boards and community organisations to help turn local priorities into deliverable projects. From early engagement and investment planning through to programme delivery and reporting, we provide the support needed to maximise the impact of Pride in Place funding.

Our approach helps communities identify opportunities, develop projects, manage delivery and demonstrate the social, economic and environmental benefits achieved.

Creating lasting community impact

Every project we deliver is designed to leave a positive legacy for local people. Through energy efficiency, retrofit, community energy and healthy homes initiatives, we help create stronger, healthier and more resilient communities.

The outcomes include reduced energy costs, improved public spaces and community assets, better health and wellbeing, increased skills and employment opportunities, lower carbon emissions and long term social value for neighbourhoods.
