Woodside Arran CIC
Woodside Arran CIC obtained funding from the Scottish Government's Community Led Local Development (CLLD) (22/23) to develop an 'Onsite Composting' project with funding delivered through the Ayrshire Local Action Group (LAG).
Organisation name: Woodside Arran CIC
Funding received: £8,963.71 from Scottish Rural Development Programme
Date awarded: 01/07/2022
Location: Isle of Arran
Based on the Isle of Arran, Woodside Arran CIC obtained funding from the Scottish Government’s Community Led Local Development (CLLD) (22/23). This funding stream forms part of the Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) commitment to CLLD.
The funding was awarded to increase onsite composting at Woodside Arran CIC, a social enterprise farm and was created to reduce carbon emissions onsite, providing cost saving benefits while also providing data towards supporting a larger island wide composting initiative.
The funding is part of the CLLD allocation to the Ayrshire Local Action Group (LAG), a group of representatives from the local area so its decision making is bottom up. With this funding, the LAG run the Ayrshire Rural and Islands Ambition (ARIA) Fund which is administered by South Ayrshire Council. Additionally, a Fund Co-ordinator supports the applicant through the process to assist and help with any concerns or questions.
