For 2026 the Local Action Group set the maximum grant amount for revenue to £30,000 for projects that meet the priorities set for the area, and a maximum grant amount of £15,000 for capital projects. The application guidance document is available HERE.
If you have a project idea you would like to discuss, please get in touch with info@fvl.org.uk
NB Our definition of capital expenditure is as follows: grant money spent to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment
NBB We also have a Youth Impact Fund which is run by the Youth Local Action Group. If your project involves young people you might be interested in applying to the Youth Impact Fund instead. Or as well.
In the meantime you can read about the projects funded in our previous LEADER programme which can be found in our Legacy Brochure or click on the box below for the online version:
