The energy company RES has established a community fund which will see more than £25,000 available to support local community projects every year during the lifetime of the Meikle Carewe Wind Farm. The fund is administered by Kincardineshire Development Partnership (KDP) and managed by a Decision Making Panel made up of representatives from the local Community Councils.
The fund is open for applications from 1 November to 31 January 2021. The Decision Making Panel, along with a representative from Kincardineshire Development Partnership (KDP), will then meet to consider applications.
Many of our amazing communities have mobilised support for their local areas. We have collated as much of this information as possible. We have created an interactive map of Kincardine and Mearns. If you click on your area you can access a list of help and support near you. Please note KDP are not able to quality assure the activity offered by the community so please take sensible precautions to protect yourself and vulnerable community members.
