Details

Ventient Nadara Glenkerie Wind Farm Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living within 15km of the Glenkerie Wind Farm.

  • Supporting sustainable communities
  • Opportunities to grow the local economy
  • Developed or maintained community assets
  • Promote community spirit and encourage community activity
