Wadlow Windfarm

The Wadlow Wind Farm Community Fund is now inviting applications for funding from constituted groups (not individuals) delivering charitable projects with public benefit within a 5 km radius of the Wadlow Wind Farm Site.  The requests will be considered at the first panel meeting which will take place in September 2012 (although no grant offers can be made until the first annual payment is received by the Fund).

Grants will be considered in the range of £100 to £10,000 and can cover a wide range of revenue and capital costs involved in delivering a charitable project.

Full details of the Fund, including eligibility criteria and the online application form, can be accessed on www.cambscf.org.uk/wadlow.html

If you have any questions or need help, please contact Cambridgeshire Community Foundation who are managing the Fund on info@cambscf.org.uk or 01223 410535.

The secretary of state has given planning consent to Wadlow Wind Farm. Construction is due to begin in 2010. Please visit the website of RES for more information

The communities surrounding the windfarm will benefit from a yearly local community fund based on the power generated from the wind turbines. RES will be working with representatives from each local community to facilitate the setting up and management of this fund. If you would like to be the representative for Brinkley then please get in touch with the parish clerk.
