We have two schemes designed to support Crofters in Tiree! These schemes are open to applications all year round.
CAGS Support Fund
Open for applications
The goal of this fund is to provide financial assistance for crofters needing consultant support to access CAGS funding.
The fund will pay for a local consultant to complete your CAGS application. The consultant we have appointed is Morven MacArthur of Agricroft.
CAGS Bridging Loan
Open for applications
The goal of this fund is to bridge the gap between CAGS approval and when the grant is repaid. This will allow Crofters who may not have capital available, to bridge the gap between paying their contractor or supplier and reclaiming the grant element of CAGS.
We are also following up on two other areas which Crofters highlighted to us.
Reducing the Need for Multiple Quotes for Work
- Update: SGRIPD is planning to introduce standard rates for services like fencing.
- Action: We will stay informed of these updates and share relevant information with the NFU and TRD.
Council Ditching
- Issue: Road ditch cleaning.
- Action: We will follow up with the Council to understand their policy and advocate for additional ditching.
For any questions or comments, please contact us at admin@tireetrust.org.uk.
