Despite the need for long term improvements to the area, the PinCH project funding opportunities are limited, as a community regeneration initiative, being outside of a Former Coalfield Area or Major Urban Area, we are excluded from attracting funding from Neighbourhood Renewal and New Deal for Communities Programme. The project is also disadvantaged in terms of Coalfields Regeneration Trust, ESF and ERDF opportunities, as well as any National Lottery Funding. Therefore, we have had to be much more creative in our approach and rely on partnership working very heavily, coming up with innovative solutions to problems wherever we can.

Camp Hill and surrounding areas are identified within the top 20 Investment Impact Locations for regional ERDF / HCA funding;
