FARM DIVERSIFICATION GRANTS – GROWTH PROGRAMME DEADLINE 16TH FEBRUARY
We are now starting to hear back from farmers who submitted Expressions of Interest to both the Leader and the Growth Programmes that they have been invited to submit full applications. The Leader Programme is now closed, but the deadline for the Growth Programme is 16th February so there is still time to apply. There are three themes: rural business development, tourism and food processing with a minimum grant of £20,000 which, at 40%, equates to a minimum project cost of £50,000. If you need help applying, please don’t leave it until the last minute – call head office on 01768 868615
