Italian-based renewable energy company ERG, who operate the turbines at the local Sandy Knowe Wind Farm site, have a long-standing relationship with local communities in the area. Following a challenging and uncertain year for pupils, the company were keen to give back.
Marco Tiberi, project manager for ERG, said: “This project has a long history with the local communities and from the start has been strongly supported by residents in the area.
“This kind of economic boost is a real benefit to the local community and an excellent example of what community benefit funding can do to help rural communities in times of crisis.”
