Hässleholm Municipality receives EU funding for local development

Hässleholm Municipality has been granted up to 2.8 million SEK in EU LEADER funding for a project titled “Tillsammans för framtidens levande stationsorter med omnejd i Hässleholms kommun”. The initiative aims to strengthen local development, community, and digital competence within the municipality’s station towns.

A primary component of the project involves conducting a survey of children and young people aged 7 to 18 to identify their needs and desires for their local areas. Based on these findings, the municipality plans to establish temporary youth hubs and organize activities during designated station town weeks. This project follows a previous initiative focused on making local areas more attractive and seeks to address long-standing dissatisfaction regarding services in areas outside the central Hässleholm district.
