Details

Funds projects and initiatives that support the rural regeneration and sustainability of communities within the Solwaybank Windfarm area and enhance the lives of those living and working in the area will be supported.

Applications are welcomed that fall into the following categories:

  • Enhance the quality of life for local residents;
  • Contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities;
  • Promote community spirit and encourage community activity.

Priority will be given to projects which can demonstrate:

  • Local consultation – evidence that the local community has been consulted and is supportive of the project;
  • Strategic projects – with longer term impacts and benefits;
  • Partnership working – working with other organisations (e.g. voluntary, local, regional or national) to add value to a project.
  • Local procurement – using local suppliers and providers for goods and services, where possible.
  • Environmental considerations – consideration of the project’s carbon footprint and minimising the environmental impact.

Match funding of at least 10% of the project cost will normally be required, but projects with more match funding to add to the value of the project and maximise the Community Benefit funding are preferred.
