Community projects funding is a success!
Projects funded this spring
Shalford, Chilworth, Peasmarsh Garden Club (SCPGC)
£5,000 contributed to help SCPGC raise funds for repairs to their Garden Club store. The store enables members to buy garden products locally, at a low cost.
The Old School Tongham Solar Optimiser
We've provided £3,907 to this project, to help improve the current solar panel installation. It will use more of the power generated on site and help the Old School Hall become more carbon neutral.
