Information event on funding available through Rural Growth Programme for England

Information event: Monday 11 December 2017, Wansbeck Workstation, Ashington, Northumberland.

The latest round of grant funding from the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) for the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has funding available to businesses in the food processing, tourism and rural business development sectors.

The RDPE provides funding for projects in England which create jobs and growth in the rural economy.

Applications are being sought for projects that will grow a business, create jobs or bring more money in to the rural economy. Grant funding can help pay for constructing or improving buildings, and buying new equipment and machinery.

Three grant funds are available: Rural Business Development Grants, Rural Tourism Infrastructure Grants and Food Processing Grants.

An information event will be held on Monday 11 December 2017 at Wansbeck Workspace. Businesses who are interested in submitting an application to the fund are invited to attend this free event where there will be opportunities to discuss the application process and the types of projects funded.
