The Community Ownership Fund

The Community Ownership Fund is a UK government initiative designed to support local communities in taking control of important local assets, such as pubs, shops, and community centers. It provides financial assistance for communities to buy and manage these assets, helping to protect them from closure or decline. This fund aims to empower communities, encourage local engagement, and foster social and economic resilience by giving people the resources they need to maintain and enhance important community spaces. The initiative seeks to strengthen community ties and promote a sense of ownership and belonging.
