How To Apply

Anybody wishing to apply to the Northumberland Uplands Local Action Group should first read the Delivery Plan or refer to Northumberland Upwards – our Local Development Strategy to ensure the project fits with the aims and objectives of the group. Both documents are available from our strategy page.

The first formal step to registering a project idea with the Northumberland Uplands Local Action Group is to submit an Expression of Interest Form.

They are then reviewed against the priorities in the Local Development Strategy. The Local Action Group members will make a recommendation on whether the project idea moves to the full application stage or is redirected to other sources of potential support.
