Shetland Islands Council - Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) Programme
Details
The Shetland CLLD Programme is a grant fund provided by the Scottish Government. The delivery of Shetland CLLD is overseen by the Shetland Islands Local Action Group (LAG) – a group of representatives from organisations with economic, social, environmental and community interests in Shetland. The CLLD grant fund is administered by Shetland Islands Council on behalf of the LAG.
The principal focus for activity is to support sustainable projects which can be reflected within the programme’s four priority areas:
- Helping families and services through the cost-of-living crises, including helping to address the drivers of child poverty
- Increasing community capacity to address rural challenges
- Transforming the economy to deliver net zero
- Creating sustainable local services
Projects that support one or more of the programme priorities will be considered for funding.
