Achlachan Wind Farm Community Fund

This fund is provided by Whirlwind Renewables, developers of the Achlachan Wind Farm. Starting in April 2019, the fund receives approximately £30,000 annually (index-linked) for the life of the Achlachan Wind Farm, expected to be 25 years. The fund supports community activity and development in the Halkirk & District Community Council area, prioritising projects within a four-kilometre radius of the Achlachan Wind Farm. Grants are available to support the charitable activities of constituted not-for-profit groups working to benefit the communities therein. Applications must meet at least one of the following outcomes: developing services and facilities, sustaining and creating employment, increasing skills and knowledge, preserving and enhancing or giving better access to culture, heritage and the environment, or getting around and getting connected. Applications that do not clearly fit with these outcomes but can show strong community support and evidence of need may be considered where funds allow.
