Our Work.

Town Investment Plan.

In 2020, working with Kirklees Council, we helped secure a £25m investment from the Government’s Towns Fund to provide a boost to Dewsbury’s economy and long-term prosperity.  

Learn about the good work that is underway thanks to this funding. 

Long-Term Plan. 

We have been working with the local community to develop a long-term plan to access up to £20m investment from the Government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods funding.

We will be publishing a full report on the engagement later in 2025.
