Unlocking LEADER funding in Cornwall

Advice and support on obtaining LEADER grants and alternative funding

LEADER funding presents an opportunity for both agriculture and leisure and tourism and is possibly one of the last chances to secure European capital funding.  LEADER funding is available to local businesses, communities, farmers, foresters and land managers. However, one barrier to applying for LEADER funding is the need to have appropriate finance in the first instance to complete the project before you can access the LEADER grant.

FOLK2FOLK can enable you to access the required funding; allowing you to complete a LEADER application in the knowledge you’ll have sufficient cashflow until your grant is paid.

Unlocking LEADER Funding Events

We are hosting two evening LEADER events in Cornwall in partnership with the Local Action Groups (LAGs) to help explain LEADER funding, how FOLK2FOLK can enable you to access it and  you’ll also hear views from a legal and land management perspective from local professionals.

We will hold a Q&A session where you can ask the panel any questions you may have about obtaining grants, alternative finance, legalities and business advice for your project. There will then be time for networking.

Q&A panel with local experts:

• Coodes – Local solicitors
• Kivels (BUDE)  – Rural property experts
• Trinick Davey (GUNNISLAKE) – Rural property experts
