Welcome to WeSET

The Westmill Sustainable Energy Trust has been set up as a charity
with initial funding of £1,000. It is funded on an annual basis by 0.5% of the revenues of the Westmill Wind Farm roughly £5,000-6000 depending on how the wind blows that year. Its objective is to encourage and promote the deployment of sustainable energy, in particular (but not exclusively) within the area of benefit. The area of benefit is defined as within a 25 mile radius from Westmill Wind Farm.

We have recruited 7 Trustees from those who expressed a strong interest to be involved at the AGM or workshops. The current Trustees are Colin Bell (secretary) Mike Blanch (treasurer), Clive Burke, Barbara Hammond, Eoin Lees (chair), Nan Pratt and Liz Rothschild. The initial composition of the Trustees represents the interests of low carbon communities, education and arts, consistent with the object of the Trust. It is envisaged that the Trust in its activities will be mainly local and will not duplicate but may support existing activities from other like-minded organisations.
