Clyde Extension
Through our Clyde Extension wind farm we make around £382,000 per year available for community and charitable projects. Over its lifetime we expect to invest £7.5million in local projects.
Additional funding is committed to the regional Sustainable Development Fund. This fund runs every two years and supports transformational projects across the South Lanarkshire local authority area.
APPLYING TO THE FUND
The Clyde South Lanarkshire Extension Fund is split into three separate funds which cover:
- Clyde SL Extension - Biggar, Duneaton, Symington, Quothquan & Thankerton.
- Clyde SL Extension - Leadhills.
- Clyde SL Extension - Crawford & Elvanfoot
Applications are open for the Biggar, Duneaton, Symington, Quothquan & Thankerton fund. Eligibility and other information can be found on the fund guidelines document and application form below.
There are four funding rounds per year, although the panel is willing to consider applications under £5,000 and urgent applications outwith these cycles.
The deadlines for applying to the fund are:
- 22nd March 2024
- 28th June 2024
- 20th September 2024
- 13th December 2024
Crawford & Elvanfoot, and Leadhills both have separate funds. We are currently working with respective community councils to open these funds for community groups to apply”. In the meantime, groups can apply to our Clyde South Lanarkshire fund administered by South Lanarkshire Council.
