Gwynt y Môr OWF Funds North Wales’ Community Projects

Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm has announced a £570,000 donation to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in North Wales and the appointment of Community and Voluntary Support Conwy (CVSC) to administer its £multi-million Community Fund.

The substantial funding package for the RNLI will support a new rescue support vehicle to be based at St Asaph and pay for the training of all volunteer crews along the North Wales coast for the next five years.

In a separate arrangement, Community and Voluntary Support Conwy (CVSC) has been appointed to manage applications, award grants and, potentially loans, to community projects in North Wales from the rest of the £19m fund.

Gwynt y Môr is the world’s second largest offshore wind farm, located more than eight miles off the North Wales coast.
