What is CLLD?

North of Tyne Community Led Local Development (NT CLLD) is a locally managed funding programme that targets selected areas in Newcastle upon Tyne & Wallsend to encourage local groups rooted in their communities to suggest, design and deliver projects that contribute to increased employment, develop businesses and improve opportunities to enhance local life.

Newcastle City Council has secured £2.1m of European funding, to offer grants to organisations and deliver North of Tyne CLLD Strategy. Organisations, groups and businesses can apply for funding to deliver their projects supporting local people on their journey to employment or entrepreneurship and local businesses to grow.
