Launching the Heart of Wessex Local Action Group

Celebrating Local Business

  • Do you want to sustain the high quality of life in your area?
  • Are you passionate about improving the rural economy?
  • Do you want to support opportunities for growth and employment?
The Heart of Wessex Local Action Group (LAG) has recently received £1.74m of European Union funding to invest in rural businesses and community initiatives to improve the rural economy throughout the LAG area.

Help us celebrate the opportunities that this funding programme offers at a launch event:

Wednesday 17th June 2015 (from 6pm)
Cheese & Grain, Frome


We are offering 20 businesses the opportunity to exhibit and promote their businesses to a new audience at this exciting event - Completely Free of Charge!

Interested in being part of something really special?  Please book your exhibition space without delay!

For more information, contact Sarah Dyke-Bracher on 07826 907361
or sarah@heartofwessex.co.uk

You will hear how the programme works, how you can get involved through the Local Action Group and help decide where the money is invested, and how projects can apply for funding. It’s an open meeting, so everyone is invited!

The funding will be available from summer 2015 to the end of 2020. It is really important that the programme makes a real difference – leaving a legacy that everyone benefits from. This means the programme needs to be very focused on what it wants to achieve.

Timings

Set up will be from 4pm. Refreshments available from 6pm onwards and the event will kick off at 6:30pm.
We expect to finish at about 8.30pm. There is plenty of parking at the Cheese & Grain and it’s free after 6pm!

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 17th June.
