The scheme will pay a loan of up to 90% of the business’ anticipated BPS claim value from 7 December to successful applicants and to those whose full BPS claim is not processed.

RPW will ensure that claimants whose support scheme applications are rejected are prioritised for processing to ensure that everyone receives either a full or support payment as early as possible.

The FUW would urge all Members to apply for the support scheme and to contact local FUW County Staff for assistance if required.

Due to the covid pandemic, RPW have confirmed that the deadline for Glastir Small Grants: Landscape and Pollinators capital works has been extended to 30 September 2020 so that work can be conducted in September after the hedge cutting closed period.

The next funding application window for training opens on 7 September. Those registering for the first time during this window to apply for funded training or to update their account should contact Farming Connect before 5pm on 26 October.
Despite restrictions and the uncertainty around when face to face training will resume, Farming Connect Development Officers have continued to work, assisting those wishing to apply.
