£60,000 Community Fund Responds to Coronavirus
The St Breock Windfarm Community Fund opens for applications on December 1st. The Fund makes grants to community, voluntary, and not-for-profit organisations in Wadebridge, Egloshayle, St. Breock, St Wenn, Withiel, St. Issey and St. Columb. More than £60,000 is available for projects that benefit these local communities and this year the scope is widened to address problems raised by the pandemic.
The Fund is responding in two ways to the new challenges thrown up by Covid-19. First, funding will be available for community groups who provide support for people affected by the pandemic. Secondly, a ‘Resilience Fund’ will be available for community groups and organisations that face an immediate threat to their existence as a consequence of the pandemic.
This is the sixth year of the Fund. Over that time it has helped a wide range of organisations and projects. Schools, sports clubs, theatre groups, music festivals, support services for vulnerable people, environmental projects and village halls have all benefitted.
Further details, application forms and fund guidelines are on the WREN website https://www.wren.uk.com/community/apply-for-funds, or can be requested by email to communityfunds@wren.uk.com after that date.
