The LEADER Programme in the Somerset Levels & Moors area is now closed. Further LEADER funds are not expected to be available in the future, should this situation change this website will be updated accordingly.
As a result of the serving of Article 50 for the UK to leave the European Union, there are no plans for any new EU rural programmes.
Some projects that are eligible for LEADER might also be eligible for funding through other Rural Development Programme schemes, such as Countryside Productivity . More details about these schemes can be obtained from Gov.uk or from your local Rural Payments Agency office.
We have successfully delivered around £1.3m of funding to over 50 businesses across the Levels & Moors LEADER Area.
LEADER funding is EU money that is allocated via DEFRA for more information take a look at the EU Comission's rural development website.
The budgets for Priority 1 - Support for Farm Productivity and Priority 6 - Support for Forestry - are now fully committed and we are unable to accept any further applications.
