Details

Carrick Futures is a community company, funded by ScottishPower Renewables community benefit funds from the Arecleoch and Mark Hill Windfarms in South Ayrshire. The fund primarily supports projects located within or directly benefiting one or more of the six community council areas of Ballantrae, Colmonell & Lendalfoot, Barr, Barrhill, Pinmore & Pinwherry and Girvan & District.

The Board has agreed six strategic priorities, which it will use to prioritise proposed projects. These are:

• Improve access to public services, education and recreation
• Tackle inequality, including poverty and disadvantage
• Support good health and wellbeing
• Provide support and/or opportunities for children and young people
• Support the sustainable development of community led assets
• Foster climate smart approaches that protect and promote our environment

These priorities are underpinned by a community wealth building approach which provides a proportionate response to local priorities in relation to jobs, business and the local economy.

Awards can support a wide range of costs and activities including equipment, running costs for local groups, staff or sessional worker costs, consultations, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities and capital costs to purchase or develop community assets.
