Guided by our Good Growth Investment Plan, we’ll deliver the UK Shared Prosperity Fund as a joint committee between Cornwall Council and the Isles of Scilly Council.
The Economic Prosperity Board consists of five elected Members from Cornwall Council (drawn from Cabinet) and two elected Members from the Council of the Isles of Scilly. Their primary responsibility is to oversee the delivery of the Shared Prosperity Fund in line with the Good Growth Investment Plan agreed by both councils.
Dates of next meetings
The Economic Prosperity Board sits as a formal Cornwall Council committee, and meeting notes are listed one the Council website:

A local partnership group has also been established to provide advice on strategic fit and deliverability of projects considered for funding. This local partnership group is known as the CIoS Prosperity Advisory Panel.
This group includes representatives from a wide range of local organisations, including businesses, investors, partnership boards, education and skills providers, community and faith organisations, voluntary and social enterprise bodies, and environmental, public health, and police and crime representatives.
The purpose of the Prosperity Advisory Panel is to provide local insight and expertise on economic development issues to maximise benefits for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The Panel helps to identify and address both need and opportunity for the Shared Prosperity Fund, including deliverability within in-year spending targets, and advice on wider economic policy. The Panel also provide oversight of programme performance and output, as well as advising the CIoS EPB on any unforeseen shocks to the economy and potential responses.
Further information on the Panel can be found in the Terms of Reference.
