Penny Hill Wind Farm Community Benefits Fund (Rotherham)

Grants of up to £7,000 from the Penny Hill Wind Farm community fund, paid for by OnPath Energy and run by Point North, for community groups, voluntary organisations and environmental projects near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The area of benefit covers Aston, Thurcroft, Treeton, Ulley and Whiston, and projects outside it may be considered if they clearly benefit local people. You do not need to be a registered charity, but you must have charitable aims: community groups, playgroups, youth clubs, village and church halls, sports clubs, Scouts and Guides, senior citizens' clubs, environmental projects, and schools for non-statutory projects can all apply. Grants can support energy efficiency, environmental and nature projects, health and wellbeing, regeneration, community facilities, education and training equipment, and social welfare such as lunch clubs, trips and food banks. Salaries and statutory responsibilities are not funded. There is no deadline, and applications are considered all year.
