Braintree District Council have grants between £10,000 and £50,000 available for the execution of capital projects in rural areas. The grants could be used to:
- improve community facilities, such as green spaces
- boost access to arts and culture in a bid to grow local tourism economies
- support agricultural businesses looking to expand their remit and rural businesses looking to launch or grow their products and services
The initiative is open to businesses, public sector organisations, higher and further educational institutions, charities and community groups within rural areas and communities. All locations within our district are eligible, except for urban parts of Braintree and Bocking.
This scheme has received £589,191 from the UK Government through the Rural England Prosperity Fund. This fund is a rural top-up to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund which is a central pillar of the Government’s Levelling Up agenda.
This fund has been very popular, and applying soon is recommended to avoid disappointment.
