Through our Clyde South Lanarkshire wind farm we make around £1.2m per year available for community and charitable projects. Over its lifetime we expect to invest £38million in local projects.

South Lanarkshire Council administer this fund on our behalf. They allocate 70% towards a local Community Fund for community projects within 15km of the wind farm, and 30% towards a Regional Development Fund for employability and training projects across South Lanarkshire.

THE COMMUNITY FUND

The community fund is for projects within the Clyde wind farm area, up to around 15km from the wind farm near Abington.

Projects in the following community council areas can apply:

  • Biggar
  • Crawford & Elvanfoot
  • Duneaton
  • Leadhills
  • Quothquan & Thankerton
  • Symington
  • Rigside
  • Douglas
  • Carmichael

You don’t need to be a registered charity to apply, but your organisation must have a constitution (governing document or set of rules) and not be set up for individual profit. If you are unsure if your group is eligible, please contact us for advice.

HOW TO APPLY

The Clyde Wind Farm Community Fund is currently managed by South Lanarkshire Council. To discuss your idea with a Project Officer and to request an application form, please visit this link.
