The Norfolk Offshore Wind Farms Community Fund is helping people of all ages connect with nature, learn new skills and strengthen community ties.
The support from energy company RWE is helping Field of Joy, a local social group, to continue with community projects.
The organisation’s Teen Rangers and Sanctuary Garden programmes are being backed while funding is also being received for a new intergenerational project focused on organic growing, tree planting and wetland conservation.
Katy Woodington, RWE’s UK community investment lead, said: “Community benefit funds play an important role in ensuring that local people share in the benefits of the energy transition.
“We’re proud to support projects that make a genuine difference in people’s lives, from helping young people reconnect with education and nature through initiatives such as Field of Joy to strengthening community facilities and services across Norfolk and the wider UK.”
The funding is part of a wider programme supporting community initiatives across the UK. Almost £645,000 was awarded to projects during the first quarter of 2026, helping wellbeing and opportunities for communities.
Since the finances were established, more than £50.9 million has been awarded to an array of projects.
