Details

Community Led Local Development (CLLD) is administered by a Local Action Group (LAG) with funding made available by the Scottish Government. This LAG – the Outer Hebrides Community Led Local Development Local Action Group (OH CLLD LAG) – covers the area of the Outer Hebrides.

In total, £90,000 of capital funding is available and applications are being sought for sums in the region of £5,000-£10,000. To be eligible, projects must contribute to the LAG’s overarching aim of ‘collaboration and Community Empowerment through inclusion, equality and diversity’, and at least one of their priorities for 2024-25, which are:

• Community Wealth Building;
• Supporting children and young people; and
• Dùthchas and Dualchas*, with a focus on identifying new approaches that can lead to economic benefits.

Slightly lower – but still very important – objectives are:

• Working towards Net Zero;
• Transport; and
• Fair work and Employability.
