There is plenty of driving force in our area and Leader Sjuhärad has funded many projects. Are you curious about which Leader projects are underway, or perhaps which initiatives have received Leader support in your area?

Leader support: How it works

Get started

Do you have an idea? Test it here on the web or contact us and we'll see if it could become a leader project.

Write the application

The next step is to write an application where you clearly describe the idea and what needs to be done. Of course, we are there to provide sound advice!

Implement

If your application is approved, it's time to get started! Follow the project plan and contact us if you have any questions.

End

When the project is completed, it's time for the final report. We, and many others, are curious about how it went.

What is Leader?

Non-profit commitment is the foundation

Leader is a method for rural development with local roots, initiative and commitment at its core. The idea is that development of the place you live is best carried out by those of you who live and work there – by you, your association, local businesses and other organisations. 

Everyone needs help sometimes

Do you have a project idea but are stuck? We're happy to give you advice along the way!

Project owner agrees

”It's nice that non-profit work is really recognized – that you get appreciation for what is otherwise invisible.”
