Help to get LEADER rural grant funding

Do you have an idea for a project that you want grant funding for?

LEADER logoGetting a grant is not always simple, and we were awarded LEADER funding in 2009 and 2010 to support potential grant applicants in specific areas. We have a wealth of experience, having assisted over 100 people in workshops and one-to-one sessions. We also appraise applications in three areas, and understand exactly what is being looked for and equally what can be seen as unnecessary 'padding' or 'waffle'.

If you are daunted by the prospet of completing all of the plans and paperwork yourself and want to express your project fully without investing weeks of time, there are two ways in which we can help you:

  • By helping you on an individual basis. You need to be in charge of your own plans and forecasts, so after deciding which areas you want the most help with, we meet and decide who will pull together which parts of the project file. Ideally we do some of the work alongisde you, then exchange documents by email as things progress. You only pay for the help that you need and can learn from the areas that we work on.
  • By using our online course (from January 2012). We have almost completed our online course which is aimed at all types of grant and funding applications. In it, we have worksheets,examples and discussions so that you understand what funders are looking for and how best to express your ideas and plans. This is ideal for those on a very tight budget or who feel that they will be completing several applications in he future.

Imagine, a grant system that not only supports rural projects and communities, but also hand-holds you through the whole application process! The aim is to increase your chances of success, both in applying for a rural grant and getting good results from your project.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
