A derelict cinema, local pubs and a rugby club are among 52 community assets which will be revived thanks to almost £13 million of government levelling up funding.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announced the latest allocations from the second round of the £150 million Community Ownership Fund.
The funding will help community groups take ownership of local institutions that have fallen into disrepair or are under threat of closure and give them a new lease of life. This will ensure they continue to provide vital services, create opportunities and boost local economies, while restoring optimism, hope and pride in UK communities.
