Barrhill Community Fund

The Barrhill Community Fund is provided by Barrhill Community Interest Company using funds from the Kilgallioch Community Benefit Company and ScottishPower Renewables Mark Hill wind farm. The fund supports positive change by investing in a wide range of inspirational, community-led activity that is strategic, positive and creative and helps create a legacy of lasting impact. The fund makes grants to support the costs of relevant projects, services and facilities that benefit people in the Barrhill community area. Two types of grants are available: small grants ranging from £1,000 to £5,000, and large grants of £5,001 and above. The fund also provides Community Energy grants annually and makes bursaries to individuals for education and training. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and decisions are made by Directors of the Barrhill Community Interest Company who are local community members. Groups and organisations working to benefit people in the three communities can apply, and do not need to be registered charities but must meet standard eligibility criteria.
