LEADER Funding in Sutherland

Sutherland Partnership helps to administer the Highland LEADER fund in Sutherland, which will be able to disburse over £1 million in Sutherland in the years until December 2011 (with the possibility of more LEADER funding thereafter.)

The 23-member Sutherland LEADER Area Partnership, which comprises 23 community and agency representatives, meets every two months or so to make decisions on applications for LEADER funding.

If you have an idea which could benefit your Sutherland community, and if you can demonstrate community buy-in and potential community benefit springing from your proposed project, you might like to visit the Highland LEADER website, www.highlandleader.com.  You will need to demonstrate that your project would help meet the aims and objectives of the LEADER plan for Sutherland.  To read that plan, click here.
