Seagreen Wind Energy Community Benefit Fund has awarded £120,000 to support the small Angus village of Wellbank.

The award will be used to build a new playpark for local children at the busy Wellbank Hall, which is the focal point for the local community.

As part of the delivery of the Scotland's largest offshore wind project, Seagreen Wind Energy Limited, the Seagreen Community Benefit Fund was established which aims to benefit communities located in the Angus area.

The current playpark was used by local families and, although maintained regularly, the equipment hasn't been upgraded for years. When local parents heard about the possibility of applying for funding from Seagreen, they carried out an extensive consultation in the area to make sure everyone had their say, including the children.
