A £1.253 million scheme was launched on Wednesday 22 April by the East Midlands Development Agency (emda), the Peak District National Park Authority and the Derby and Derbyshire Economic Partnership (DDEP) to support rural businesses and communities.

The three-year ‘Live & Work Rural' programme aims to help businesses create new jobs and safeguard existing ones and enable communities to carry out projects to benefit local residents.  It is funded by a:

• 595,000 grant from emda and DDEP
• £458,000 of funding from the Peak District National Park Authority
• £200,000 of additional support from various other partners
