Marr Wind Farm Community Fund
We established the Marr Wind Farm Community Fund to provide grant funding to voluntary organisations, community groups and environmental projects in the communities near Banks’ four-turbine, 8MW onshore wind farm near Doncaster.
The fund is available to the parishes of Barnburgh, Brodsworth, Hickleton, High Melton, Marr and Sprotbrough and Cusworth, but projects outside of these areas may be eligible if they can show they benefit local people from these parishes.
The Marr Wind Farm Community Fund receives £10,945.90 each year, and grants are awarded in agreement with a panel that includes local members from Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council.
