Physical investment

Local Investment Fund

  • The LIF

    Our Local Investment Fund (LIF) offers funding to local projects which aim to make a real difference in people’s lives at a neighbourhood level by addressing local community need.

    Decisions on LIF funding are taken by our Strategic Policy and Resources Committee following recommendations from area working groups which include councillors from the local area.

    Since 2012 we have invested £7.7 million into more than 100 projects across the city through LIF.
