Overview
The NnG (East Lammermuir) Community Fund is run by Foundation Scotland. It pays for activities that deliver the priorities in the East Lammermuir Local Place Plan 2024-2034. The money comes from Neart na Gaoithe, the offshore wind farm owned by a joint venture between EDF power solutions UK and ESB.
The fund is proactive. East Lammermuir Community Council directs the spending, so the best first step is to talk to them about your idea. In the first three years (2025-2028), the priorities are improving household energy efficiency, building an active travel path network, improving community transport links to Cockburnspath and Dunbar, and improving local biodiversity.
There is no fixed grant size. The East Lammermuir share of the fund is £183,600 a year for the first three years, rising in line with inflation. The fund is expected to run for 25 years.
Groups and organisations do not have to be based in East Lammermuir. Your work must focus on these priorities and cover the East Lammermuir area.
The closing date is 18 October 2026. Decisions are expected in mid November and are made by a local Panel.
One thing to keep in mind: activities outside the fund purposes will not be supported. Neither will anything on Foundation Scotland's standard exclusions list. Read the application criteria before you start.
