London Councils European Service

European funding offers public authorities the opportunities to carry out pioneering projects in their local area, providing the technical and financial support required to:

• Test innovative new methods for delivering services
• Tackle critical environmental problems
• Boost local employment and education
• Support vulnerable members of the community

EU funding programmes usually cover over 50% of project costs, helping to ensure that new activities can still go ahead despite the current climate of austerity. It also provides the chance to work with partners from across Europe, sharing experiences and delivering joint initiatives.

GLE has managed and delivered the London Councils European Service since 2002 through our highly qualified team of consultants. Our extensive network of contacts in Brussels allows us to provide boroughs with the latest policy and funding information, while our links to other Member States allows us to effectively support your engagement with European partners.
