Our £100m funding pledge

We have pledged £100 million over the next five years to 2030 to break the cycle of social disadvantage and ensure everyone has a fair chance at a good life.

This £100 million will be focused on projects that improve education, expand access to provision, and increase employment opportunities. 

We will also continue to invest in groundbreaking research into a cure for type 1 diabetes, a cause close to our hearts.

By combining our financial resources with expertise and energy, we will work strategically and consistently to create lasting regional impact with national influence.
