Create free accountRWE Bowbeat Wind Farm (Peebles & Eddleston) Community Fund
Foundation Scotland
This fund pays for community projects that benefit people living in the Royal Burgh of Peebles and District and the Eddleston and District Community Council areas. It is provided by RWE Renewables UK Operations Limited, owner of the RWE Bowbeat Wind Farm, and run by Foundation Scotland. Projects should achieve at least one of these aims: improve quality of life for local residents, help build a vibrant, healthy and sustainable community, promote community spirit and activity, or tackle climate change at a local level. One-year grants are £1,000 to £10,000. Multi-year grants of up to three years can reach £30,000, which is £1,000 to £10,000 a year. In exceptional circumstances, one-year grants of up to £50,000 can be considered. If you want a large grant, you must speak to Foundation Scotland before you apply. You do not need to be a registered charity. Groups based outside the area can also apply if their project clearly benefits people in Peebles and Eddleston. The Round 2 deadline is 16 December 2026. Decisions are expected in mid-February 2027. A Community Panel of local people makes recommendations on awards. The page says some things will help your application. These include local consultation and support, match funding, local suppliers, care for the environment and partnership working. A grant can cover 100% of project costs, but preference goes to projects with other funding in place. One practical point: if you need less than £1,000, the page says a Micro-Grant scheme run by the Community Council will soon be available.
