CoRE Legacy Fund – Berwick Community Trust

The CoRE Legacy Fund provides grants to support projects in the North of the county that will enable communities and their resources to reduce their energy consumption or help them benefit from renewable energy technologies.

There is some flexibility depending upon the funds available and the quality of applications. The fund will be flexible and is willing to consider imaginative and innovative projects that may be developmental in nature.

The intention is to support North Northumberland communities through a wide range of renewable energy or demand reduction projects. This might mean installing equipment, undertaking a feasibility study or training, conservation and reduction of waste energy, education and public engagement work that develops the ability of communities to better manage the generation or use of energy.

Registered Charities, constituted sports clubs, village halls and community groups are eligible to apply, as are social enterprises demonstrating clear social and community value. The fund isn’t open to statutory agencies or local authorities and projects must be located within the area detailed on the map.

The CoRE Legacy fund is supported by income from the wind turbine, formerly owned by the Trust, on the northern outskirts of Berwick upon Tweed.
