East Midlands Colleges Receive £36M Government Fund for Renovations

Nineteen colleges in the East Midlands are set to receive a £36M government fund for building renovations, with allocations starting this summer and spending in the next school year. This fund follows years of underfunding in further education and aims to tackle urgent repairs, cut maintenance backlogs, and boost teaching spaces while pushing for lower carbon footprints. Allocations vary, with smaller spots receiving £6K and larger groups up to £7M, giving colleges flexibility on how to spend the funds to modernize by 2030. This push supports Prime Minister Keir Starmers goal of getting two-thirds of young folks into top apprenticeships, training, or uni by age twenty-five.
