Full details from SSE Renewables (Spurness Wind Farm)
Through its Spurness wind farm on Sanday in Orkney, SSE Renewables makes around £25,000 a year available for community and charitable projects, and expects to invest £600,000 between 2004 and 2029. The fund gives grants of up to £10,000 for projects that develop skills to deliver projects important to the island's future, support community assets, increase involvement in local organisations, help disadvantaged or excluded people (particularly young and older people) enjoy a good quality of life, involve people in caring for the environment, or strengthen the local economy through community-led enterprise. Past awards include £8,685 to Sanday Community Association for its holiday play scheme. No deadline is given; applications go through SSE's online portal.
