On 5 February 2026, the government announced that a further 40 places will join the Pride in Place Programme. This brings the total investment to up to £5.8 billion for 284 communities over the next decade, targeting neighbourhoods that have for too long been overlooked and left behind. We will confirm which places will be in receipt of this funding in due course.
