Full details from GrantScape (funded by East Youlstone Wind Farm Ltd)
The East Youlstone Community Benefit Fund, from the East Youlstone wind farm in north Devon (owned by East Youlstone Wind Farm Ltd and managed by Netro Energy) and run by GrantScape, has about £15,000 a year, linked to inflation, for community projects in the eligible area around the turbines. Groups can apply for £250 to £7,500. Priority goes to energy efficiency and small renewable projects, training and education (especially vocational training for unemployed young people under 25), projects for school-age children or older people, and other projects that benefit local residents. It cannot fund commercial organisations, private members-only clubs, projects that only benefit one individual, narrowly religious or party political projects, statutory responsibilities or work that starts before a grant contract is issued. Core running costs are not funded. There is one round a year; the next closes at midnight on 10 March 2027.
