LEADER Programme

LEADER provides grants for projects that will benefit the rural areas and communities of West Lothian. The funding programme will run from 2008 to 2013.

LEADER is part of the new Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) aimed at promoting economic and community development within rural areas.

SRDP funding includes Rural Direct, LEADER and Rural Priorities

LEADER stands for: Liaison Entre Actions pour le Développement de L'Economie Rurale (links between actions for the development of the rural economy).

If you are considering an application for funding for your project and wish to discuss before submission, please contact Avril Wallace on 01506 777916 or email avril.wallace@westlothian.gov.uk
