THE 4 Winds Community Trust met last week and eight organisations received grants totalling £8,500.
The 4 winds trust is a community development fund established following the creation of the Little Raith Wind Farm by Kennedy Renewables.
As part of the establishment of the wind farm and in line with their planning application, Kennedy Renewables committed to re-investing funds into the local communities in order to help local groups financially.
As well as providing longer term sustainable solutions for energy demands, by investing in community groups it is intended that there will be a wider benefit for the people of Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath, Lumphinnans and Auchtertool.
The eight grants are the latest to be made by the 4Winds Trust and application forms can be found on the 4Winds website or contact Community Councils in Cowdenbeath, Lumphinnans, Lochgelly or Auchtertool. The next date for applications to be considered is end of February 2017.
The 4 Winds Trust are a charitable organisation (Scottish Charity Number SC043913) and was created to administer the distribution of the funds which will be provided via the Little Raith Wind Farm and is made up of two representatives from each of the four community councils.
