Even before the claim window for the 2025 round has closed, the next round is due to open on 17^th March 2026.

There will be a tight window of 6 weeks to get applications in before the deadline of 28^th April. These applications will be competitive and available items are set to be similar to those offered in 2025 and can be seen on the below links.

^{Animal Health & Welfare}

^{Productivity Items}

^{Slurry Items}

The minimum claim amount is £1,000 up to £25,000 in each category. The grant amount is detailed for each item and expressed as a percentage (50% or 40%) of the actual cost.  You will receive the lesser of these amounts as your grant funding.

Each category is also scored, meaning that single item applications will result in a lower overall score. We advise adding other items to help increase the score and it is worth checking the cost and specification of items beforehand. You may get what you need for less than what you need to spend to meet the specifications of the grant item. 

If you would like to discuss any items or unsure about the specifications or items then please do get in touch with us.

We have paper copies of the categories available at our Brock office on Tuesday mornings, as well as our North Lancashire and Cumbria office and would be happy to discuss these with you.
