Some figures on this page (such as the amount, deadline, or rate) are provisional and due a fresh verification pass against the official source. Please confirm the current details using the official link below before relying on this information.

Description

Capital grants to Hull city-centre businesses and organisations for regeneration projects, funded from Hull City Council's £1.5m Pride in Place Impact Fund award (Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government), aimed at creating, improving or refurbishing spaces and making the city centre more attractive to encourage economic activity. Has supported 31 small and medium-sized businesses so far, creating almost 150 full-time-equivalent jobs — including a £68,375 matched-funding award toward a rooftop events space on the K2 Tower.

Amount

Capital grants for city-centre business/regeneration projects; amounts vary by project and match-funding, no fixed per-business cap published (example award: £68,375 with equal match funding)

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Eligibility summary

  • Available in: England.
  • Applicant must be a registered business.
Notes
Detailed published eligibility criteria and a dedicated application page still could not be confirmed at the August 2026 review — contact the council's business support team directly. RE-ATTEMPTED (23 Aug 2026): the officialUrl (hull.gov.uk/grants-funding) is live and loads a real grants index — but it lists Household Support Fund, Resilience Grant, Crisis Payment, Adoption Support Fund, Levelling Up Fund Grant Scheme, 16-19 Bursary, Whitefriargate regeneration, Crisis and Resilience Fund, and Hull 4 Funding, with neither the City Centre Grants Scheme (CCGS) nor the Community Highstreets Programme (CHSP) named on it. A fresh WebSearch confirms CHSP is very much live and expanding (a July 2026 news.hull.gov.uk article announces 'phase three' of CHSP covering four more areas), while the most recent CCGS-specific coverage found is still the April 2026 rooftop-events-space article. council reporting on the same £1.5m Pride in Place Impact Fund award describes it as split across two schemes in two different years — CCGS for 2025/26 and CHSP for 2026/27 — and CCGS's absence from the live grants index is consistent with its 2025/26 funding year having now closed while CHSP (a different, environmental-regeneration mechanism rather than a business capital grant) is the current 2026/27 vehicle. Still genuinely unclear whether CCGS itself remains open to new business applicants — flagging rather than guessing.
Requirement
Business or organisation with a capital regeneration project located in Hull city centre; match-funding expected.
