It's a great offer which I made the most of when it first emerged. :thumb:
I got 50% funding for my home larder improvements which was a great help. There is a fair bit of paperwork involved but they will help you through it each step of the way. You need to spend ALL of the money first, and then you can claim up to 50% of it back. It all has to be agreed beforehand though, ie, no retrospective claims for stuff you've already bought!

'Free money' is fairly scarce these days!

This grant has been available for some time, we mentioned it in the July issue of Shooting & Conservation.

The money is available for equipment up to the end of 2013, contact Graham Rimmington at the DI he will help.
