Rampion fund supports Sussex

The first grants from the Rampion fund have been distributed from the £3.1 million community fund set up by the offshore wind farm last autumn.

Chris Tomlinson, Development and Stakeholder Manager for the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm said: “We have been absolutely delighted with the response from community organisations who have put forward many innovative and exciting projects in support of a diverse range of community groups.

“The Rampion Fund has a unique appeal with many project bids incorporating renewable energy installations and energy conservation measures, which we continue to encourage in future rounds.”

The Rampion fund is designed to help local projects, particularly those with links to the environment and ecology, climate change and energy, as well as those that work to improve community facilities.

Chris Hodge, Chairman of Sussex Sailability said: “Rampion Fund’s generous support will enable Sussex Sailability to buy a new safety boat to support disabled sailors get active on the water. I am delighted that the Rampion Fund is part of changing disabled people’s lives by building their independence and confidence and helping them to enjoy the great Sussex coast.”

Sussex Community Development Association (SCDA) also received a grant from the Rampion fund, which will help them encourage people to enjoy Sussex’s green and open spaces.

Penny Shimmin, Chief Executive of SCDA, said: “People are often reluctant to get out and enjoy the beautiful green spaces which surround our coastal towns. There are great health and wellbeing benefits for all, whatever your physical abilities, and you do not need to have special gear. SCDA supports people who do not think this is for them or have fears of practical barriers. With this funding, we can now help start up groups to get out for a walk, look at the view and get involved with an outdoor activity.’’

Brighton & Hove Food Partnership has received funding to support the costs of launching a city-central community kitchen. Brighton & Hove Food Partnership’s Vic Borrill said: "Thank you Rampion for helping us to make our dream of a community kitchen a reality. Your support means that we will be able to convert a former office space into a teaching kitchen and venue for hire. We can’t wait to get cooking.”

The deadline for the next round of applications to the Rampion Fund is Friday 4th May 2018. Grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 are available, with higher grants up to £50,000 for larger capital projects subject to matched funding.
