Relaunch of Rural Grants | AshfordFOR Ashford Borough Council has been successful in securing its’ allocation of the UK Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF).

Great to see the relaunch of Ashford's rural business grants. These schemes can provide up to £15,000 to fund renewable energy, new food production spaces, and tourism initiatives.

Another great #UKREiiF this year for AshfordFOR, with 24,000+ people, productive discussions, workshops, meetings and quirky memories of Leeds -a giant lilly and entering a building via a bus.
Looking forward to 2026...
