The Argyll and the Islands LEADER Programme is a rural development initiative which is being delivered under the Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP).
It is hoped that LEADER may inspire local individuals and groups to take the first steps on a road that will lead to real improvements in everyday living within their communities. That this in turn will be an inspiration to others who wish to see these improvements reflected in their own lives and communities.
This development programme was preceded by WHELK LEADER+, a funding programme that ran from 2000 to 2006, covering Lochaber, Argyll and Bute and Arran and the Cumbraes.
