As a broad outline, 70% of our funding must be allocated to farmers/growers and foresters, with 60% of spend allocated to capital projects. Whilst the maximum grant we can allocate per project is £50,000, a ceiling of around £35,000 is preferred, in order to benefit as many organisations as possible.
The programme is competitive and not all eligible projects will necessarily be awarded a grant, or at the amount requested. Priority is given to those that demonstrate the greatest benefit to the rural economy of the WARR area. It is a prior approval scheme, so you must not start work on any items included in your application before you have a contract. You should also be aware that claims are paid in arrears, on submission of receipted invoices and evidence that these have been paid.
