Bicker Wind Farm Trust
Lincolnshire Community Foundation
The Object of the Trust is to promote renewable and efficient energy and not-forprofit projects that conserve or improve the environment within a ten mile radius of Bicker Fen in the Borough of Boston, although priority may be given to projects within five miles.
Funds:
We aim to distribute around £22,000 a year. Grants may be from £250 to £5,000. Applicants can be not for profit community groups or social enterprises that support community activity. They should not be statutory agencies or for equipment that would ultimately lead to individual gain (e.g. solar panels, wind turbines on private homes) or businesses. Thus, an application to fund a school project should come from the Parent Teachers Association, for example, and not direct from the Education Authority.
Guidelines:
Generally, grants are available for practical or educational projects that either contribute to conservation, energy efficiency or environmental improvements or raise awareness in those areas.
