Good causes on the Lizard Peninsula can find out about grant funding from Goonhilly Wind Farm at a drop-in event next week.
Cornwall Community Foundation is hosting the event for community groups, charities and voluntary organisations in the TR12 postcode to help with grant applications for the Goonhilly Wind Farm Community Fund.
Operator REG Windpower donates £48,000 per year to support good causes in the local community. Since the six turbines began generating renewable energy, the fund has made grants worth almost £200,000 to groups on the Lizard.
The Cornwall Community Foundation administers the fund, and a panel of local people decides twice yearly which applications are most deserving of support.
The drop-in event takes place on Wednesday, April 1 at Gweek Village Hall, between 3.30pm and 6.30pm.
The deadline for applications for the next round of grants is April 16.
