Grants of up to £20,000 are available for projects that benefit communities within a 10km radius of Wroughton Solar Park.
We are sharing this information with you as some constituted voluntary or community organisations, registered charities, not-for-profit companies and schools, academies or colleges in your parish are all eligible to apply. If you have are able to share this information with any relevant groups we would be extremely grateful.
Grant decisions are made each year in February with the application process opening in September. As the funds are limited, we are very happy to take calls about potential projects to make sure they are eligible.
