Getting results for local causes

Simon Britton, partner at George F White, said: “This opportunity concentrates on small businesses, farm diversification projects and rural tourism. Since the programme opened in 2015, our team have been involved in countless LEADER applications across the North East with a similar focus. “The team has achieved results such as funding for local rugby clubs, holiday accommodation and public animal parks, to name a few. “Many of our team have been raised on farms or in the countryside and are sensitive to the issues and the opportunities that land and property owners and occupiers face in the 21st century.”
