Community Funding
Do you know of a community organisation, such as a village hall, youth club or community centre, which is looking for funding for environmental-focused projects? The Westmill organisations can offer different types of funding types for community benefit societies.
How it works
Eligible non-profit community organisations within Oxfordshire, or within 25-miles of the Westmill site, can apply for grants from £500 to £5,000 towards projects which benefit our communities and activities that align with our aims: climate change awareness, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fuel poverty and energy equity.
We are also keen to support projects which demonstrate one or more of these co-operative principles: community; sustainability; education, training and sharing information; or co-operation (with co-operatives and similar social enterprises).
Details how to apply can be found on their website
