Developing a project and applying for a grant on your own can be a long and frustrating process. South West PESCA Ltd can provide the expert help you need with the application process, free of charge.

If your project falls within the eligibility criteria, the staff at South West PESCA Ltd can arrange to meet you to help develop your project in more detail. For example, we can help you prepare the project description / business plan and complete and submit the application forms. All you need to do is obtain the required number of quotes and provide the relevant financial information.

Applications are sent to South West PESCA Ltd, and we forward them to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in London. Once they have been appraised by DEFRA on grounds of eligibility, DEFRA, in partnership with a Fisheries Priority Management Group made up of local fishing sector representatives, decides which projects are awarded grants.

South West PESCA Ltd can also help with any subsequent project monitoring arrangements and claims for grant aid.

Contact South West PESCA Ltd today, and make sure your application is developed, presented and submitted in a way that gives you the maximum chance of success.
