Partners

Activities
- Disbursing over £20,000 per year to local projects.
One outstanding example of how such funds can be used to maximum advantage is the Glendaruel playpark.
Grants totalling £28,000 from the trust allowed the community to bid for funds from the STV “Peoples Millions” project. They successfully applied for £50,000!
This marked the end of many years of campaigning - organising fund-raising events, filling repeated applications, appealing and cajoling. “The application for funding from the Wind Farm Trust was approved subject to securing matched funding which has now been achieved in some style.” (C&G CC website)
