Ventient Energy A'Chruach Wind Farm Community Fund

Summary

The A’Chruach Wind Farm Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in one or more of the following community council areas: West Loch Fyne, Dunadd and Lochgilphead. The fund is provided by Ventient Energy, the developer and owner of the A’Chruach Wind Farm in Argyll & Bute.

Applications are expected to address one or more of the following outcomes (or changes for the community):

  • Advance rural regeneration though increasing opportunities for enterprise and vocational training.
  • Enhance infrastructure including affordable housing, transport, broadband, community-owned property and access routes.
  • Establish new community services and seek to improve or expand existing services, particularly with regard to young people and the elderly.
  • Develop and improve community facilities.
  • Enhance leisure facilities and to develop and expand tourism and leisure opportunities.
  • Capacity building for new and existing community organisations to help achieve the other priorities.

Under the Multi Year Flexible Funding schemes, applications are invited for strategic multi-year grants for up to three years. This funding is flexible and can be spent by organisations on broad areas of activity, including costs that are traditionally hard to raise funding for such as staff costs and organisation overheads.
