LEADER 2007 - 2013

An invitation has been issued by the Scottish Executive Rural Directorate to form a local partnership and prepare bids for the 2007-2013 LEADER Programme.

Following the Guidance for Submission of Funding Bids recently issued by the Directorate, it is intended to form a Local Action Group that will operate within the Outer Hebrides "On the Ground" area boundary. The LEADER Programme will be delivered through the LAG.

Community priorities will be a key element for this new bid and to this end a series of community consultations are being held throughout the Outer Hebrides to engage with individuals at a local level.
