Our Current Funders
Thanks goes to all our Funders for entrusting us with Community Benefit Funds to deliver and support what we do for the Coalburn Community as well as supporting this building in its sustainability.
Broken Cross Wind Farm Limited has been created as a flow through fund where monies received are distributed to fund our Development Officer salary and to support groups and activities, if funds allow through CMWCS. A report is written on a yearly basis to the developer for approval.
Kennoxhead Wind Farm Limited funding is approved. These approved funds can be spent on four areas to support the building and what it offers to the community, energy efficiency, training and community activities. All funds support community based initiates, identified by customer feedback and work being developed through the Development Officer identifies what is being requested from the Coalburn Community for how this fund is spent. A report is written on a yearly basis to all funders for approval.
Douglas, Glespin & Coalburn Charitable Wind Farm Trust provides a yearly sum to support the running costs of the CMWCS of which is much appreciated.

activities and groups organised.
