Glenkens & District Community Fund will distribute funds provided by Blackcraig Wind Farm (Scotland) Ltd from its Blackcraig wind farm, and Greencoat from its Windy Rig wind farm, both in Dumfries & Galloway.

The purpose of the fund is to support our communities to be connected, resilient and carbon-neutral places, where people will want to live, work and visit, to bring up their families, and to grow old. Priorities for the fund are directly linked to the Glenkens & District Community Action Plan.

The fund’s current priorities are:

• A Connected Community
• An Asset Rich Community
• An Economically Flourishing Community
• A Carbon Neutral Community
