Share more
Share More is the micro-support for associations that want to develop their operations from a sustainable perspective.
Closed for new applications
There is no longer any money left to distribute and new applications cannot therefore be accepted.
About the micro support
Share more is one of our micro grants. Micro grants mean less administration and faster decisions compared to applying for leader grants for a more extensive initiative.
What can you search for?
Sharing initiatives such as lending banks, transport pools and swap days are examples of projects that could be supported. Likewise, skills development and theme days that increase knowledge about sustainability issues. Maybe your association has another idea that fits in?
Who can apply?
Applicants can be associations operating in the Leader Sjuhärad geographical area. Other actors, such as several associations and/or companies in collaboration, can also apply as long as the project is of public benefit to the rural areas of Sjuhärad.
When can you apply?
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis as long as there is money left to distribute. Decisions are made by the presidium at all presidium and board meetings – dates for these can be found in our calendar and the application needs to be fully completed 14 days before the relevant decision-making meeting.
Always contact us at the leader office before you start an application. We will listen to your idea and guide you so that the application is completed correctly.

Business school LRF Youth Sjuhärad
Young farmers called for support and skills development to facilitate and ensure successful generational changes in agriculture/farming and forestry. LRF Ungdomen took note of this and sought support for a pilot training course for this purpose. Four meetings have been held, which have dealt with, among other things, company forms, business plans, quotations and marketing. Through increased knowledge and collaboration, a transition to the next generation can be safer and smoother, which provides long-term sustainability.

Leisure library
The leisure library in Bollebygd makes it possible to borrow leisure equipment such as skates, kubb games, sledges and floorball sticks – completely free of charge! The equipment is collected through donations from the public, including via the recycling center. A digital system makes it easy to see what is available to borrow. To get started, some equipment has been purchased and, together with associations, a collection day was arranged before the sports holidays. The leisure library will promote inclusion and sustainability by giving more people the opportunity to try out different activities without having to buy their own equipment.

The insect tribute
The Insects' Tribute is a tribute to insect life, a project in connection with the folk music festival Ornungastämman where nature conservation and outdoor life are in focus. The Insects' Tribute consisted of a concert in the middle of a sea of flowers and a workshop for children and adults where you could create your own insect hotel. The tickets for the concert consisted of seed bags with the hope of sowing thoughts about the diversity of pollinators and inspiring people to contribute on a small, personal level.

The cultivation plots at Lilläng
The Midori association leases arable land and has set up a collaborative farming project in this project – partly to offer farming opportunities and partly to increase understanding of the importance of locally grown food. The land had been untouched for many years and it took some work to get started. With the help of the micro-grant granted and voluntary efforts in the association, the land was ploughed, a parking area and walkways were built and farming plots were marked out.

About the project
Future-proof irrigation for Uddebo intercropping
For 10 years, Uddebo co-farming has grown vegetables together, which has meant that they are now self-sufficient in several vegetables. However, in periods of drought, it is hard work to water 1200 square meters with watering cans. This project therefore aims to investigate the possibilities for and purchase an irrigation solution that saves on backs and bodies, while at the same time securing the future of local food production and the community that it means to grow together. An irrigation solution would also contribute to a safer and more even harvest.

Sätila Muster Association
In this project, a new association has been started – Sätila Musteriförening! Shared equipment for the production and pasteurization of must, now makes it more economically advantageous to use the fruit than to let it go to waste. In record time, the association has started test days, made instructional videos for the equipment and created a booking system and a Facebook group where the association's members can exchange experiences. The project is expected to strengthen social relations, facilitate knowledge exchange, reduce work effort, optimize the use of the equipment and potentially improve the quality of the must.
Uddebo electricity
In the light of the current energy crisis and a troubled world situation, an old idea and ambition was brought to life – to investigate the conditions for forming an energy cooperative in Uddebo. In this project, Uddebo Bygdegårdsförening has learned more about what it would mean to build and operate a solar park in Uddebo through study visits, consultations, studies and village meetings. They have also gained knowledge about the economic factors that affect the production of solar electricity.

Lecture SM Food Crafts
Sjuhäradsmat is an association for small-scale food producers in Sjuhärad. Within the framework of this project, they arranged a lecture for both the general public and association members during the Swedish Food Crafts Championship. The aim was to spread knowledge about sustainable, environmentally friendly and good food choices. The hope is that more consumers will see the value of good food and thereby have greater respect for the raw material. This would likely lead to better utilization and reduced food waste.
Close-to-nature forestry in Älekulla and the surrounding area
Close-to-nature forestry is the focus of this project, which can be divided into two parts. It involves collaboration between forest owners with the aim of sharing knowledge and experiences with each other, and a local course in Close-to-nature forestry and how it can be an alternative to conventional forestry.
