Giving rural Northern Lincolnshire a voice.

WELCOME to the Northern Lincolnshire Rural Local Action Group and LEADER website.

The Local Action Group (LAG) aims to influence and shape rural development across North and North East Lincolnshire. To do this, the Local Action Group is responsible for coordinating the LEADER programme of funding.

Essentially the group is about getting things done alongside rural communities and organisations. By distributing LEADER funding to local groups we aim to develop town and village facilities, increase the basic services available to rural communities and increase the number of people accessing attractions and venues within Northern Lincolnshire.

So whether you want to learn more about the work of the Local Action Group, think that you have a project that might qualify for LEADER funding or simply want to see some of the projects the LAG has already been able to support, please feel free to look around our website or contact a member of the LEADER team.

Northern Lincolnshire Festivals Project – FREE Events Management training on offer!

The Northern Lincolnshire Local Action Group and North Lincolnshire Council are giving community groups across the area an opportunity to take part in the Northern Lincolnshire Festivals Project including FREE events management training.

The project will provide comprehensive events management training covering topics such as licensing, health and safety, customer service and marketing, and will fund the purchase of events equipment that will be available for groups to hire to make their event a success.

The FREE events management training will be provided by North Lincolnshire Council and will take place at venues across Northern Lincolnshire at times to suit participants.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this exciting opportunity, or would simply like more information about how the project could benefit your organisation, then please contact a member of the LEADER team by 31st January 2012.
