Applications are now being sought for a new Islandmagee Energy Community Fund Committee which will be responsible for the distribution of a £1m trust.

Islandmagee Energy says that this committee will “act as a selection panel, liaising with interested parties from the community to fairly and appropriately allocate investment”.

Applications must be forwarded to Islandmagee Energy before noon on February 28.
