Ardentinny Renewables Trust – Mid 2024 Newsletter

Ardentinny Renewables Trust (ART) has recently published its Mid 2024 newsletter, highlighting the past six months of funding activities.

With a substantial increase this year in income from the local hydro projects, contributions from the four hydro installations have been able to fund or part-fund picnic tables for Glenfinart Walled Garden, bowling green repairs, sound equipment for the music group and an internet and phone service for the village hall. Since the inception of the first hydro project in 2017, our community has benefited to the amount of over £69,000.

The Trust’s Annual General Meeting takes place in the Village Hall on Tuesday, 23rd July at 7.30pm. Alongside discussing the past year’s activities, financial situation and outlining its future objectives, the Renewables Trust will also be electing Trustees for the forthcoming year. Everyone is welcome.

Walled garden improves accessibility with successful funding bid

Ardentinny Community Trust’s Glenfinart Walled Ga rden was one of the recent recipients of £3000 generated by Ardentinny’s share of the 3 local hydro schemes. The funding award was to upgrade the paths within the walled garden to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and those using walking aids.

Hydro funds are administered by Ardentinny Renewables Trust (ART) to fund local community projects. The latest contribution from the Hydrover hydro project for the past 12 months was £6008.

In addition to the garden funding, £500 was approved for the car park toilets as well as £100 towards a village day held in the hall. Funds currently available for local community projects are £15,200.

Ardentinny Renewable Trust welcomes requests for funding for any project which will benefit the community. Membership of the Trust is free and any member can submit a funding application.
