What is Urgent Capital Support Funding For Schools?
Urgent Capital Support (UCS) provides funding for academies and sixth-form colleges to address critical building condition issues that may endanger staff and pupils, or risk closure to the school.
This emergency school capital funding is offered predominantly as a loan, based on an evaluation of the financial status of the trust, for those that cannot access the School Condition Allocation (SCA) fund or wait for the next round of the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). Grant financing is exclusively allocated to schools under exceptional circumstances, and unlike other funds, it remains accessible year-round.
At Eddisons, we understand the urgency of such needs and can guide you through the UCS application process to secure timely funding. Call 0808 253 7223 now or claim your free consultation to take advantage of our services.
“Urgent Capital Support funding provides schools with a crucial opportunity to address immediate building issues, ensuring safe and effective learning environments.
