COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND

The Jack's Lane Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund has been established to provide financial support to community based projects which contribute to the wellbeing of the local area and have particular educational, environmental or social emphasis.

The annual £30,000 fund is managed by Norfolk Community Foundation (as the Fund Administrator), but decisions about where the money is spent are made by a Fund Panel of local people.

Successful applicants are those which can demonstrate their project is of benefit to people living and working within 5km of the wind farm. Click here to see which projects have been awarded grants to date.
