William to Launch Regeneration Fund to Help Village Near Dartmoor Prison
The fund will back local projects with grants from £500 to £40,000 and support for applicants, Devon Communities Together said.
- On Tuesday, Prince William will visit Princetown to unveil the Princetown Community Fund, which makes at least £250,000 available for local social, economic, and environmental projects in the moorland village.
- Following Dartmoor Prison's July 2024 closure due to radon contamination, Prince William directed that the £1.5 million annual rental income be redirected to support community regeneration instead of personal benefit.
- Delivered by Devon Communities Together, the fund offers grants ranging from £500 to £40,000 and builds on previous initiatives like the Princetown Place Strategy and Encounters Shop.
- This initiative forms part of the Duchy of Cornwall's broader plan to deploy more than £500 million over the next decade into housing, renewable energy, farming resilience, and environmental recovery.
- During the visit, William will tour Gather & Moor, a community hub developed by the Duchy, and meet residents helping shape the village's long-term vision and visit a youth club receiving Duchy funding.
