Grants for non mechanical firewood kit.

[farmer_ben]

Heard of loads of grants for processors and associated firewood kit before, just wondering if people have been successful with grants for non mechanical stuff?

 

Im interested to hear if people have been successful with ploytunnels, storage crates etc?

 

Thanks

Contact Judith Barker @ Grants4Growth

 

If it is not her area she will know who can help you. Judith helped me get a grant for a processor but it is basically any equipment or capital investment, and I think polytunnels more crates to expand the business/secure jobs would be acceptable.

Are these grants specific to the firewood/tree business?

Depends where you are based. The link I put up is for the Herts/Beds/Bucks/Cambs/East Anglia region.

 

Outside of that area I would have no idea.

 

The grant I achieved was not based on any particular industry, it simply required me to be investing in the business myself to create or to secure jobs.

I had a BEIS grant for my solar kilns but they have not repeated the scheme for a number of years now.

A storage barn may be grant aided under the scheme coming forward in the spring. 40% of the cost paid retrospectively, usually 3 months after you have paid for the lot.

 

Steve at the FC Thetford has details of the scheme.
