Aims of Fund

The Fund seeks to support projects that benefit local communities and those with links to environment and ecology, climate change and energy. Priority will be given to projects that help tackle disadvantage and improve the lives of people and their well-being.

Who can apply

The Fund is open to charities, community groups and not-for-profit organisations operating within the area shown on this map, which extends from Littlehampton Harbour in the west, to Beachy Head in the east, and up to the A272 near Twineham in the north close to the wind farm’s onshore substation.

Your group must have: a bank account; a constitution; accounts or records of expenditure; and any relevant policies (e.g. safeguarding, equal opportunities, health and safety).

How much and what can you apply for

You can apply for:

  • Grants of up to £10,000 for community projects in the Rampion area of benefit.
  • Grants of up to £20,000 for capital projects to improve community buildings in terms of energy use/energy generation/storage and energy efficiency. For more information on capital projects, contact the Rampion Grants Officer to discuss your project.

The 2024 programme had a focus on on supporting projects that benefit local communities and those with links to the environment and ecology, climate change and energy.

You can see more of the sort of work and projects they fund in their 2023 impact report.
