Coalburn, Douglas & Glespin (CDG) Community Fund

The Coalburn, Douglas & Glespin (CDG) Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in the Coalburn Community Council area and Douglas Community Council area (incorporating Glespin and surrounding areas). The Fund is a vehicle through which two different funds are administered, provided by Nadara (owner and operator of the Galawhistle Wind Farm) and Greencoat UK Wind (owner of the Douglas West Wind Farm). An annual amount of £225,000, index-linked, will be paid into the Fund each year for the operating life of these wind farms. Two forms of grant are available: Standard grants (£500-£20,000, with exceptions for larger amounts) with three application rounds annually, and Community Anchor Organisations 3-year core funding (up to £5,000/annum = £15,000 maximum) with one-off application round. The Fund supports positive change by investing in community-led activity that is strategic, positive and creative, helping deliver a legacy of lasting impact through grants for relevant projects, services and facilities.
