Local Development Companies have supported thousands of farm families, small businesses
and community groups in rural areas around the country for the last 25 years, using the
community-led, bottom-up approach. Let us continue to drive this rural development work
together. Support your Local Development Company and ensure they continue to deliver and
manage the next LEADER Programme 2014-2020.
Visit your Local Development Company at the LEADER VILLAGE Block 1, Row 21, Stand 298
to see just some of the food, tourism and craft projects supported by LEADER. Enjoy some
home cooked food and talk to the people who have benefitted from the programme and you
will hear how LEADER has made a real difference in people’s lives in rural areas.
