Nadara Westfield Wind Farm Community Fund (Kinglassie)

The Nadara Westfield Wind Farm Community Fund (Kinglassie) supports community projects benefitting those living in the Kinglassie Community Council area. The fund is provided by Westfield Wind Farm Limited (WWFL), the owner and operator of the Westfield Wind Farm in Fife. The fund opened in 2014, with an annual amount of £20,000, rising with inflation, paid into the fund each year for the operating life of the wind farm, expected to be 25 years. The fund provides grants to support charitable activities that enhance quality of life for local residents, contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities, and promote community spirit and encourage community activity. Grants may support a wide range of costs, including equipment, staff or sessional workers, consultations, running costs for local groups, and maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities. Grant requests range from £500 to £4,000, though funding requests in excess of the maximum and over multiple years (up to 3) can be considered in exceptional circumstances. Applications demonstrating strong community support and significant impact potential are particularly welcomed, especially those supporting priorities in the Kinglassie Community Action Plan. Decisions are made by a Community Panel of up to nine members who live, work, or volunteer in the area.
