Farm Diversification/ Sectoral Business Support through the

Orkney LEADER Programme

Due to fewer applications coming forward than expected there is still approx. £250,000 available for farm diversification/sectoral business support projects in Orkney.

The LEADER Programme is therefore open once more for Expressions of Interest from eligible applicants. Closing date for Expressions of Interest is 9th of January 2019, potential projects will then be able to work up applications for the final deadline of 14th March 2019.

Projects will be expected to have any necessary planning and match funding in place by 1st May 2019 at the very latest.

If you have a project in mind, contact the LEADER team immediately on 01856 873535 extension 2855.
