Scottish Hydro Spurness Community Fund

Background

The fund is provided by Scottish and Southern Energy, the developer of the Spurness Windfarm. The annual fund value will be at least £16,500 and could reach an average of £25,000 in future. The value will rise with inflation and contributions will be made for 25 years, dating from 2004.

Purpose

Grants will be made to organisations that benefit people on Sanday by:

  • Developing their skills and abilities to implement projects that are important to the island’s future.
  • Supporting the acquisition, development and use of community assets.
  • Increasing their involvement with local organizations and community activity.
  • Overcoming the barriers that can prevent disadvantaged or excluded members of the community from enjoying a high quality of life, particularly young people and the elderly.
  • Involving them in caring for the environment and ensuring it is protected for future generations.
  • Strengthening the local economy through community-led entrepreneurial activity. 

Groups and organisations matching these purposes and providing public benefit to people living in the area may apply for a grant award. Your group must have a constitution and be set up on a not-for-profit basis. Your group doesn't have to be registered charity to apply.

For details of grants that have been awarded to date, please visit our grant-making map and selecting SSE Spurness in the Scheme search box.
