Fund Details
The Auchrobert Community Fund is funded by Falck Renewables from its Auchrobert wind Farm in South Lanarkshire. The fund supports projects located within or directly benefiting the area of Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill and Boghead.
The Auchrobert Community Fund income will distribute a minimum of £46,000 annually for the lifetime of the wind farm.
Awards between £500 and £5,000 are available.
A micro grant scheme, for awards under £500, is also available and administered directly by the Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill Coordination Group. Applications are by a simple application form and decisions are made on a rolling basis. Please contact the Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill Coordination group directly for further details.
