The European Regional
Development Fund
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) was set up in 1975 to stimulate economic development in less prosperous regions of the European Union (EU).
As EU membership has grown, ERDF has developed into a major instrument for helping to redress regional imbalances. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) manages ERDF in England.

Southwark Council
Southwark is one of the busiest and most demanding metropolitan authorities in the country. It is a borough of tremendous opportunity, situated as it is with its northern boundaries opposite the prosperity of the Cities of London and Westminster. But it also has all the challenges and interest of an inner city area: low incomes, high state dependency and complex social problems.
Southwark is undergoing one of the most ambitious social and physical regeneration programmes of any authority in the country, together with a wide range of initiatives aimed at improving educational standards, reducing crime and improving health, housing and the environment.
