Community landowner the Stornoway Trust and community wind farm charity Point and Sandwick Trust have come together to form an interim joint committee to award grants to projects using money generated by Beinn Ghrideag Wind Farm.
The fund, derived from the wind farm’s community benefit agreement with the Stornoway Trust, will be administered by the joint committee and will focus on creating and supporting projects across the Stornoway Trust Estate.
The new projects fund has been opened with a transfer of £82,000 to Stornoway Trust from Point and Sandwick.
