SSE Pledges Record £375,000 For Aberfeldy Community Hub

SSE has provided £375,000 to support a new shared clubhouse and community hub at Aberfeldy Golf Club, funded through its Griffin and Calliachar Wind Farm Community Investment Fund.

The award, the fund's largest single grant to date, covered both construction and the interior fit-out, replacing the former clubhouse which was no longer fit for purpose.

Built on the footprint of the old building, the facility is intended to serve as a central hub for sport and the wider community, bringing together local clubs that previously lacked a shared space.

Features include modern changing rooms and showers, a bar and restaurant, and a flexible area for events and broader community use.

The project aligns with SSE's continuing commitment to invest in communities near its renewable energy developments, backing facilities that reflect local priorities and deliver long-term benefits.

Morven Smith, Head of Community Investment for SSE, said: "We're delighted to support this project through the Griffin and Calliachar Wind Farm Community Fund, alongside other investors. This is the largest amount we've awarded from the fund, and seeing it help deliver a facility that will benefit Aberfeldy Golf Club and the wider community for years to come is really special."

Morven Smith added: "The new clubhouse is a testament to what the Aberfeldy community has achieved—bringing partners together, securing investment and creating a modern, shared space that will serve local clubs, families and visitors. It shows what's possible when local ambition is matched with long-term support."
