Since its establishment in 2010, the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund has received a donation of \u00a3100,000 per annum from the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, which is operated by energy company Equinor, to support community projects in North Norfolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time, the Fund’s grant awards of over \u00a31.3million have made a significant difference to the lives of many residents by supporting some 140 local initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2025 a generous increase in the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm’s donation to the Fund to \u00a3150,000 per annum will ensure that many more North Norfolk communities and organisations have the opportunity to benefit from the Fund each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcing the increase in the annual donation, Colin Galer, the Plant Manager of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am delighted that our board of Directors has made the decision to increase the annual donation to the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“North Norfolk is primarily a rural district, consisting of many small and quite isolated communities, and I know that the Fund’s support for projects associated with sports facilities, schools, parish councils, village halls and community centres, marine and beach safety services, local charities and community transport groups makes an important contribution to sustaining and enhancing rural life.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Energy efficiency initiatives and improving the sustainability of a wide range of community facilities and services have become themes which are common to many of the applications which have been received by the Fund over the last few years.”        The Sheringham Shoal Community Fund is administered by the Norfolk Community Foundation, and full details of the funding criteria and the straightforward application process can be found at www.norfolkfoundation.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
