We have adapted the previously named Storengy UK Environmental Fund to widen the scope of projects that can apply for funding. The fund will now be known as the:

Storengy UK Community Development Fund

We have a broad definition of the term ‘community’. This could be communities of interest or place, for example, a village hall, a local community group, a local youth club, a school, a housing estate or a whole neighbourhood. It may be a group of people with a common interest, for example, people with a disability, a group of older people or younger people, a not for profit organisation, a sports club or society, a musical band or dance group. The list is not exhaustive.

Examples of projects that we will consider include; renovation works, children’s play areas, disabled ramps at community centres, lighting schemes, provision of equipment for clubs and societies. We guarantee to review all applications received, no matter the size or scope of the project.

The Storengy UK Community Development Fund will provide funding from £100 to £10,000. Storengy UK Limited contributes £20,000 to the fund each year. If your project costs are greater than £10,000 you can still apply for funding to cover part of your project. You will need to provide evidence that you have secured funding from other sources to cover the total cost of the project. Remember that your project must:

·         Be located in either Allostock, Byley, Lach Dennis, Lostock Gralam or Rudheath

·         Benefit the local community and have a long-term positive effect

·         Be sustainable beyond the support of Storengy UK

·         Have the agreement of the local community in the application and plan if necessary

·         Be time specific, indicating at application stage that they can be completed within a reasonable time frame (typically no more than 12 months)

·         Applicants must provide governing documentation and the latest accounts/ financial statements where possible
