Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE)

Grant funding for rural projects is now administered nationally under the RDPE by the nine Rural Development Agencies (RDAs) specific to the regions we operate in. We have considerable experience of working with key personnel responsible for administering the funding schemes and are well placed to advise clients on funding availability, assist with Expression of Interest forms, advise on local RDA criteria for targeted funding and ultimately prepare grant applications and business plans.
