LEADER Funding Supports WFF Members

Wexford Local Development (WLD) is one of 48 Local Development Companies in Ireland.  They deliver a range of interlinked programmes on behalf of local and national Government to address the needs of individuals and communities across the life cycle within County Wexford.

Amongst other programmes WLD provides support to enterprises, by providing access to schemes such as the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance, mentoring and business development skills under SICAP and training and grant aid under the LEADER programme.

In 2021 WLD in partnership with LEADER awarded grant aid of more than €1m to a wide range of businesses across Co Wexford. Among them were 7 members of the Wexford Food Family.
