WITH just under a year left to commit funds of £258,000, the Lochaber Local Area Partnership has removed the maximum upper limit that a group can apply for.
LEADER aims to promote economic and community development within rural areas. Groups and organisations can apply for funding towards a wide range of projects.
John Fotheringham, chairman of the Local Area Partnership said: ‘LEADER is a great source of match-funding to enable a wide range of projects to be delivered. As well as removing the upper limit of £50,000, applicants can now apply for funding of up to 75 per cent of project costs.
