Towns-4-Towns Exchange Fund
By Katie Fewings • Oct 11th, 2009 • Category: NewsWhether you’re looking for a short-term recession-busting fix or are ready to develop a long-term vision, it is always worth taking tips from those who have gone before.
The Towns-4-Towns Exchange Fund can help towns to share a successful project with others by contributing to the costs of preparing and compiling training materials, hosting a study tour or seminar, or mentoring.
On the other hand, if you’re a town that wants to learn from another town you can apply to the Towns-4-Towns Exchange Fund to part-fund the cost of learning and developing the project, including feasibility, business planning, market testing and pilot work.
