How Yorkshire Forward is funded
Yorkshire Forward distributes money from two sources:
- The UK government, via a ‘single pot’ into which several government departments contribute
- The EU, via the European Regional Development Fund.
- Distribution of these sources must comply with state aid rules
In 2007-08, we spent:
- £60m on helping people to access good jobs, skills and transport
- £154m on helping businesses to start-up, grow and compete through innovation
- £97m on regenerating cities, towns and rural communities.
The ERDF Programme 2007-13
Like the other regional development agencies in England, Yorkshire Forward is part-funded by EU Structural Funds in order to manage the ERDF Programme 2007-13 in the region. Find out more. More
