Welcome to the Moray LEADER Programme Website

LEADER is a new innovative rural development funding programme for Communities and Groups in Rural Moray.

Part of the new Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP), LEADER is aimed at promoting economic and community development within rural areas. The current LEADER Programme will run from 2008-2013 and will encourage new and experimental approaches to rural development. The SRDP and LEADER are funded by the Scottish Government and the European Commission.

The new LEADER fund for Moray is an opportunity for participating groups to develop projects that will strengthen the social, economic and environmental fabric of Moray's rural communities.

For advice on eligibility or those considering submitting an application for LEADER funds please contact the LEADER Programme Team. The LEADER team are here to help and look forward to discussing your ideas with you and your group.
