About this event
At this online event, Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) will be launching a new fund created to support businesses operating within Cherwell District’s rural economy, and to strengthen the rural communities in the area.
Funding for this particular grant scheme has been made available through Cherwell District Council’s Rural England Prosperity Fund allocation.
The Cherwell Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) Business Grant Scheme aims to support eligible businesses through grants, ranging between £5,000 and £20,000 per business for capital projects.
The Scheme will open for Expressions of Interests via the OxLEP Business website on 21 October 2024, closing at 5pm on 4 November, before reopening for full applications on 14 November, with a deadline of 12pm on 25 November.
To apply for a grant, all interested businesses must have been trading within the Cherwell area for at least one full financial year and have attended the grant launch webinar.
Businesses successful in securing a Cherwell Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) Business Grant will be required to have defrayed and claimed all grant-related project expenditure by 27 March 2025.
