Community Fund
High Winds (through both of it's wind farm sites, Harlock Hill & Mean Moor) donates a portion of it's profits each year to the Baywind Community Energy Trust (BWECT). BWECT are a charity who support local schools, community organisations and other charities in energy saving and educational initiatives. If you have an initiative in mind, please visit their website and use the application form.
We have also provided funding directly through our society to local organisations that the Board considers vital to the community. This began during the Coronavirus pandemic, when we saw a need to support a wider range of organisations including Barrow Foodbank, Ulverston Food Waste Project, South Lakes Credit Union and Barrow Credit Union.
We support communities close to the wind farm sites: this includes (but is not limited to) Ulverston, Barrow and the Furness peninsula.
You can find out about some of the projects we have funded in the case studies below, or read our full history of grant funding awards.
