Hinkley Point C Community Fund
As part of the development of Hinkley Point C, we have committed £20 million of community funding to improve the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities that are affected by the construction of our new nuclear power station. Over half of the fund has already been spent in supporting a number of exciting projects and good causes.
The projects that have received funding so far have been diverse. They range from two £250,000 grants to support both the construction of Wemdon’s new village hall and Williton’s new memorial ground and pavilion, to the funding of a new community gym, young people’s outreach workers, employment hubs and much more.
Being a good neighbour
We take our responsibility for minimising local disturbance very seriously and have been working with community representatives to put long-term plans in place to ensure it.
