Community groups are urged to apply for thousands in grants from a local wind farm.

Bradwell Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund will grant funding up to £10,000 to local groups, to meet community needs.

Wind farm site developer and operator RWE Innogy UK will be injecting £750,000 into the local community over the lifetime of the wind farm.

Community investment officer, Katy Woodington, said: “This fund can provide the communities of Bradwell and Tillingham with sustainable support.

“It is designed to meet the needs of the local people.

“I’d urge local voluntary and community organisations seeking financial support to apply.”
