CLLD bids are now open to Orkney community groups

The application form and guidance for bids to the Community Led Local Development (CLLD) grant scheme are open and can be accessed via www.orkney.gov.uk/CLLD

Community groups are urged to come forward to secure funding to improve a community facility, or help address pandemic, child, food and fuel poverty challenges within their area.

Bids are being sought from groups within Orkney who want to make a difference through the Scottish Government funded CLLD grant scheme – the successor to the previous LEADER Programme which saw a wealth of small-scale community-led projects benefit between 2014-2020.

The Orkney Local Action Group (Orkney LAG) delivered the LEADER Programme in the county and will also oversee the CLLD funding allocation for Orkney of £188,330 in 2022/23.

Orkney LAG will accept applications from community groups from now until 5pm on Wednesday 28 September by filling in the form through the Council website www.orkney.gov.uk/CLLD and emailing this to Alison.Barclay@orkney.gov.uk Alison can also help talk through possible project ideas.
