The South Devon Coastal Local Action Group was set up to provide a way of bringing new money into the South Devon area. We aim to support a broad range of projects and activities across the geographical area of the South Devon Coastal area and across the themes of our Local Development Strategy.

The South Devon Coastal Local Action Group is open to a wide membership of organisations and supporters living and working in the area who would welcome your involvement. A smaller steering group drawn from this membership secured the funding award, and they make the local funding decisions, provide strategic direction and ensure the scheme keeps in track.

The South Devon Coastal Local Action Group wants to ensure that the local community plays a greater and more active role in developing the South Devon coastal area. This includes all sectors of society and is intended to contribute to both community and economic improvements in the area. Essential to this is an understanding of the natural and cultural heritage of the area, which is a key part of our overall plans.

The overall programme totals £1.8million over five years. We astarted by putting together a delivery plan for 2009, which we have now updated for 2010 to show how we plan to make things happen this year. South Devon Coastal LAG Delivery Plan 2010.

We are now up and running and can accept applications for projects. For full details on what we fund and how to apply, please read our guidance notes. South Devon Coastal LAG Guidance.
