Members are encouraged to respond to a consultation from the Northern Ireland Office on proposals for a new Local Growth Fund for Northern Ireland.

The consultation seeks views on a proposed three-year investment plan that will shape a new approach to local growth funding. The aim is to support sustainable economic growth through targeted, long-term investment and interventions across Northern Ireland.

The Northern Ireland Office is inviting feedback from organisations, communities and individuals to help inform the final design of the fund and ensure that future investment reflects local priorities and needs.

For the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, this is an important opportunity to influence how future growth funding is structured and delivered.

The consultation will remain open until 5.00pm on Friday 26 June 2026.
