GYM Offshore Wind Farm, located off the coast of North Wales, is the world’s second largest wind farm. This innovative wind farm has the potential to generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent annual needs of approximately 400,000 average UK households.

The fund is open for small applications up to £10,000. It will be able to fund both capital and revenue projects that focus on the three themes of the fund:
