Surrey Hills LEADER Fund

The Surrey Hills Board also supports the work of the Surrey Hills LEADER Fund.  LEADER offers a source of funding for farmers, growers and rural communities to help secure a sustainable future for rural Surrey.

For example, it can help you to:

  • Diversify into new enterprises.
  • Add value and develop new products and markets.
  • Develop renewable energy projects.
  • Improve the returns from forestry.
  • Collaborate with others to develop new business opportunities.
  • Develop new skills.
  • Improve your financial and environmental sustainability.
  • Support rural communities and micro businesses.

Under the programme, grants of up to £50,000 can be awarded to any one project.
