What are the differences between national, regional, and local UK government grants?

National, regional and local government grants in the UK are offered by different tiers of government to different groups of people. National grants can be obtained by any eligible person who applies nationwide if their proposal is picked. Regional rank grants are only offered to those within the regional, and local ones are offered by smaller branches of government to the people in a small local area. Each of the grants have their own eligibility conditions and intended uses, so it is best to look at programmes at each rank when seeking the best one’s for your needs.
