  • Outputs and outcomes

    When applying for Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF), it's important to clearly show what your project will deliver.

    This includes both outputs (like new jobs, improved buildings, or local events) and outcomes (such as a stronger local economy or better community services).

    The outputs and outcomes you include in your application will help us decide whether to fund your project, so it's important to get them right. If you are successful, you will need to report regularly on your progress and must be able to measure what your project achieves.
