COMMUNITY BENEFIT PAYMENTS



           The surplus from the hydro scheme

           will be gifted to DIG and will be paid
           into a Community Benefit Fund.

           Disbursement of this fund will be
           guided by DIG’s Community Action

           Plan which was produced after an in-
           depth consultation process with the

           local community and regular visitors
           to the area.

           The Board of DIG has asked AED to help appoint an independent third party
           to manage the Community Benefit Fund on its behalf.  This will ensure that

           the allocation of funds to qualifying projects will be done impartially.

           The consultation process carried out in 2016 identified the following key

           themes and priorities: the community centre, communication /community
           spirit, children and young people, local environment, infrastructure and
           services, tourism and facilities/activities, employment and opportunity.


           Specific targets identified in the current action plan include:


           Community Centre: update community centre facilities
           Communication/Community Spirit 

           Children and Young People

           Local Environment 

           Infrastructure and Services

           Tourism and Facilities (Activities) 

           Employment and Opportunity 


           The full community action plan (2016-2021), some of which has already

           been implemented can be viewed on the website:
