How much
We hold no figure for this one. Our note on it reads “~£2.2m programme”, which is a description rather than an amount — the size of an award is a question for West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.
Deadlines and rounds
Not open yet. It opens on 1 Jan 2027, 69 days away, so an application before then has nowhere to go. Our link for it points to westofengland-ca.gov.uk. We work out whether it's open from the dates we hold. Check the funder's own page before you apply.
