Foundation Scotland - Drone Hill & NnG East Berwickshire Fund
Details
The Drone Hill & NnG East Berwickshire Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in the seven Community Councils areas of Reston & Auchencrow, Grantshouse, Coldingham, Cockburnspath & Cove, St Abbs, Eyemouth and Burnmouth.
This Fund integrates community benefit funding provided by Greencoat UK Wind (the owners of the Drone Hill Wind Farm in East Berwickshire), and Neart Na Gaoithe (NnG, a joint venture between EDF Power Solutions and ESB, which owns the NnG Wind Farm located in the Firth of Forth estuary).
The Fund will provide grants to support charitable activities that:
- Enhance quality of life for local residents
- Contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities
- Promote community spirit and encourage community activity.
A wide range of costs and activities will be considered for funding e.g. equipment costs, running costs for local groups, staff or sessional worker costs, consultations, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities.
