A Lanarkshire wind farm partnership has awarded more than a quarter of a million pounds to locals over the past three years.
Community groups have thanked Banks Renewables' Kype Muir Community Panel (KMCP) for their 49 grants totalling £267,047 distributed to organisations within 10km of its wind farm near Strathaven.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the KMCP fund performed a key role by responding quickly to provide practical support to residents and community groups and helping to keep services running for the most vulnerable members of the surrounding community.
