Since January 2017, SUP has been working with a group of communities in the east of Dumfriesshire to help them become registered as a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation (SCIO). This was approved by OSCR in July 2017.
The Group will receive Community Benefit Funds annually from ScottishPower Renewables from Ewe Hill Windfarm, which it will distribute to community projects throughout East Dumfriesshire. The Fund will operate by way of an application process – look out for details on the launch of the Fund in the next newsletter.
