90% Leader funding available for partnership projects
FOR a limited time only, the Highland Leader Programme is offering higher rates of funding for joint projects between Leader-supported groups within the UK and beyond.
The £345,000 available under the Leader Action 2 initiative can offer up to 90% of funding for international projects and up to 75% for UK joint projects.
Cooperation is a key theme under the Highland Leader Programme, encouraging community groups/partnerships to undertake joint projects with other Leader groups within the UK or internationally. All Action 2 projects must involve joint activity with an identified partner and deliver shared outcomes and community benefits for both areas. All projects must be completed within two years of approval.
Action 2 Cooperation projects must fit with some of the strategic priorities set by the Highland Leader Programme:
• Development planning and community capacity building
• Culture & Heritage
• Training & Learning Opportunities
• Access to Facilities & Services
• Land, Environment & Access to Countryside
• Renewables
• Tourism
• Social enterprise & micro businesses
The Highland Leader Programme is an EU and Scottish Government-funded programme which aims to deliver sustainable economic development within rural areas whilst providing an opportunity for communities to pilot new/different ideas.
