Halsary Windfarm Community Benefit Fund (Halkirk & District)

The Halsary Windfarm Community Benefit Fund is provided by ScottishPower Renewables and supports community activity and development in the Halkirk District Community Council area. The Fund is worth approximately £30,000 annually for the life of the windfarm, expected to be 25 years. It supports the charitable activities of constituted, not-for-profit groups working to benefit the community through projects that address community facilities, skills and employment, local events, sport and recreation, environmental improvements, youth and education, heritage, and net zero/emissions reduction initiatives. The Fund is administered by Foundation Scotland and is governed by a Panel of local residents who make recommendations on grant awards and advise on fund strategy. Applications which do not clearly fit with these outcomes but which can show strong community support and evidence of need may be considered where funds allow.
