LAG Programme 2024-25 New Funding Available for Borders’ Communities and Businesses
Two new funds have just been launched by the Scottish Borders Local Action Group (LAG) 8/7/24.
This year’s Community Led Local Development (CLLD) fund offers grants of £1500-£20,000 for projects that are centred around tackling at least one of the following themes
- Net-Zero/Climate Crisis;
- Social Inclusion/ Improving Services for the Public
- Poverty Alleviation (especially for children and young people).
New for 2024/25
This year the LAG is offering a Growing the Local Economy Fund which is open to Small/Micro Business, Private Sector or Enterprise Organisations. Grants of up to £5000 are available (more potentially if a great idea) but do not cover staff costs. Any business idea considered but it must contribute to one of the three priority themes of Net-Zero/Climate Crisis; Social Inclusion/ Improving Services for the Public and Poverty Alleviation (especially for Children).
All grants must be spent by 28 February 2025.
Both grant schemes are anticipated to have no more than 3 funding rounds with closing dates of:
- Wednesday 14 August
- Wedesday 4 September
- Wednesday 24 September
The LAG is working in partnership with ourselves to deliver the grants and will be using our expression of interest form.
