The North East's LEADER projects are taking place:

Following an Expressions of Interest exercise, a development phase and a final selection panel, One NorthEast has now agreed LEADER strategies put forward by partnerships for the North Pennine Dales, East Durham, Northumberland Uplands, and Northumberland Coast and Lowlands areas. The partnerships are now in the process of forming Local Action Groups and preparing for their first projects.

The Local Development Strategies for the areas can be dowloaded here, and the LEADER prospectus is available as a PDF.
