Rural England Prosperity Fund
Chelmsford City Council's Rural England Prosperity Fund [
] (REPF) Grant Scheme is now open for applications. The Fund offers businesses and community groups in rural locations a grant, which does not need to be repaid, of up to £20,000 to be spent on capital projects that improve productivity and strengthen rural economies and communities.
The funding is for rural areas only, so not all locations within the Chelmsford local authority area will be eligible. However, the definition of what is 'rural' is quite broad and generally excludes the areas closest to the city centre and South Woodham Ferrers.
Specifically the fund will:
1. Support new and existing rural businesses to develop new products and facilities that will benefit the local economy.
2. Support new and improved community infrastructure, providing essential community services and assets for local people and businesses to benefit the local economy.
Examples of projects which were funded in 2023/24 through Chelmsford's City Council's REPF Grant Scheme can be seen on the Council's REPF webpage [
].
Eligibility criteria apply and applications must have at least 20% of match funding in place. The application deadline is 11.59pm on Friday 30th August 2024. If funds still remain after this application window, the Grant Scheme may reopen later in the year.
