Vale of UskLEADER Programme

LEADER is a community led programme which aims to improve the quality of life and prosperity of the rural areas through the delivery of locally inspired and driven projects. Priority will be given to projects that are innovative, and present good value for money. LEADER is unable to support capital projects,eg the purchase of items more than £10,000, building projects and existing project activities and salaries, cannot be covered.We may be able to suggest alternative funding.
