CWP Energy is proud to reflect on another year of important community investment delivered through our Sanquhar Wind Farm Community Fund, managed by the Upper Nithsdale Community Trust. Our commitment to supporting local organisations, strengthening community assets, and enabling long-term social value has continued to grow, this year marked by several impactful grants across Upper Nithsdale.
This year’s funding has contributed to improvements at key community sports facilities for Kello Rovers FC received £29,128.94 toward stadium and playing field renovations, helping maintain an important local venue for sport and community gatherings.
A further £26,340 was awarded for the refurbishment of the changing rooms and lockers, enhancing the club’s facilities for both players and visitors.
Funding also supported local schools in marking important milestones and continuing valuable work. Kirkconnel Primary School to support its centenary event, celebrating 100 years of education and community contribution. The Sanquhar Academy Parent Council with ongoing projects that benefit pupils and strengthen the school’s resources. The Crawick Multiverse Trust Ltd we supported for the core costs and community employment, supporting the continuation of cultural, environmental, and engagement activities at a significant local asset.
Quote from the Upper Nithsdale Community Trust
“The continued support from CWP Energy via the Sanquhar Wind Farm Community Fund allows us to respond to local priorities and help ensure that community groups, schools, and organisations have the resources they need to deliver positive outcomes. This year’s awards demonstrate the wide range of initiatives taking place across Upper Nithsdale, and we appreciate the ongoing partnership with CWP Energy in enabling that work.”
CWP Energy looks forward to maintaining a constructive relationship with the community as work progresses on their latest project near Sanquhar, Sanquhar II Wind Farm. Further updates will be shared as the project develops, along with future opportunities for community support.
