Applying for funding

The LEADER programme has now closed and we will not be accepting applications for projects going forward.

However, business support is available from the West Kent Partnership and local authorities in the West Kent LEADER area

Please see the links opposite for background information and organisations that may be able to assist you with your project.

It is hoped that the Shared Prosperity Fund being developed by the Government will provide support for similar projects which were previously eligible under LEADER.
