Join the Conversation: The Future of Regional Development Funding Post Brexit.
Wales has received significant investment from the EU Structural Funds. It’s helped us support people into work, encouraged business growth and funded world leading research, but it’s not without its faults. UK Government has set out its intention to develop a successor fund – the Shared Prosperity Fund – but what does this mean for Wales?
It’s really important that the third sector offers its perspective on what it thinks Wales needs. WCVA’s Third Sector European Team (3-SET) is hosting a series of consultation events to ask your views on what’s required of any successor fund. Join us to have your say.
