The Towns Fund is part of the government's plan for levelling up the UK economy. The overarching aims of the Towns Fund are to drive the sustainable economic regeneration of towns to deliver long term economic and productivity growth. Worcester City Council developed the Worcester Town Investment Plan (TIP) setting out a long-term strategy to drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth and support recovery from COVID-19. The Community Skills Project is one of five priority projects identified in the TIP with the aim to enhance the adult education offered in the city by expanding inclusive training facilities at existing community centres. The community centres play an important role supporting Worcester's deprived communities providing general community and youth activities.
