The new Marches LEP Government Funding Tracker is an interactive service to help keep the region informed of latest Government funding announcements bringing together details of funding announcements from across the whole of the UK Government in a simple-to-use new service. It can be used to help both businesses and stakeholders keep right up to date about important opportunities for the region.
Please note that the Marches LEP is not offering or supporting any of the funding announcements listed here, and we can’t guarantee you’ll be funded as a result of using the tracker. The intention is to help you to find the Government funding you are looking for.
All of the funding data is collected from publicly available information and as such, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or comprehensiveness of the information contained in the tracker.
The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership has now ceased trading and transferred all its functions to Shropshire Council working with Telford & Wrekin Council and Herefordshire Council, in line with the UK Government's plans for devolution.
The Marches LEP was established in 2011 and hands over an impressive legacy from its 13-year life. In that time the LEP invested over £196m in projects across the Marches, securing in excess of £100m of match funding and supported more than 66,000 business interactions.
The schemes supported have made tangible differences to local communities, increasing skills, creating jobs and improving the physical appearance of many towns.
We would like to thank all the LEP Board Members who have given their time freely over the life of the LEP, as well as all the staff who worked for the LEP over the years. We also want to thank our delivery partners, local education providers and local, regional and national stakeholders who helped us achieve so much.
The Marches Growth Hub will continue to support businesses and will be managed by Shropshire Council, supported by Telford and Wrekin and Herefordshire Councils. Each of the three Local Authorities will also continue to provide direct business support locally. Details of this support will be available through the Marches Growth Hub website and from the Local Authorities directly.
