Local Councils often have small amounts of money available for specific projects, which can range from help for small businesses to planting hedges. With over 40 different local Councils in the Region it is not possible to list all the sources of funding currently available.

If you have a project that does not fit with the mainstream grants or need business advice it may be worth contacting either your Council or Business Link.

To find the telephone number/address of your Local Council look in yellow pages or www.sirect.gov.uk and click on A-Z of local councils.

Business Links exist in each county. To find your local office and to view general information on support for businesses see www.businesslink.gov.uk
