Westmill Solar Co-operative is celebrating another year of successful grant funding, with a total of £37,232 donated to local community groups.
Applications for the scheme came from a wide range of organisations, requesting assistance for a variety of projects to improve community spaces, save energy and provide support to those in need.
The funding for 2024 was allocated as follows:
£5,000 to Thame Players Theatre Company to help with installing solar panels on their roof;
£5,000 to The Agnes Smith Advice Centre to offer fuel poverty advice and support;
£5,000 to Shrivenham Bowls Club to install a solar and battery system;
£5,000 to Vale and Downland Museum to install a digital display unit to share information about the Museum’s mission to reduce their carbon footprint;
£5,000 to Sustainable Wantage to offer fuel poverty advice and support;
£5,000 to The Kitchen Garden People to fund a propagation unit in order to expand this part of their business;
£5,000 to Vale Community Impact to offer fuel poverty advice and support;
£4,232 to Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool to create a more accessible entrance to their allotments for workers and students from Special Needs Schools to safely and easily access the site;
£3,000 to Milton under Wychwood Village Hall to install solar panels and a 5kW battery.
Westmill Solar is thrilled to be able to support these vital groups, who are doing so much to improve the lives of those within their communities.
Westmill Solar hopes to re-open the community funding grants scheme for 2025 later this year; details of this will be posted on our community funding page in due course.
