The Economic Recovery Fund was a unique, innovative grant fund that aimed to support economic recovery in local high streets by empowering local groups of businesses to implement changes themselves. We wanted it to focus on collaboration and for it to benefit businesses as much as possible.
In total, 49 projects were supported across two rounds of funding that ran between February 2021 and April 2025. You can find a summary of each project and an evaluation of each round of funding in the supporting information section.
