We estimate the Community Benefit Fund to be approximately £700,000 over 40 years, which is an average of around £17,500 per year. This can be invested into other local actions to tackle climate change – which have to be both renewable, and benefit people in Reading and the Thames Valley but not necessarily located in the Thames Valley. The Board will ratify assessments of projects and propose to the shareholders which ones to support at the AGM.
