Summary of Main Activities in Relation to Charitable Purposes
(2023–2024)
During the financial year, OCA SCIO continued to deliver on its charitable
purposes of advancing citizenship and community development, and
providing recreational facilities to improve quality of life for residents of the
Parish of Oldhamstocks.
Key activities included:
• Support for local infrastructure: Significant funding and project
management support were directed toward the New Village Hall Project, a
central hub that will serve educational, cultural, and recreational needs of
the local community. This aligns directly with our aim to provide and
maintain a meeting place for residents.
• Community Benefit Fund investment:
In line with our long-term vision for sustainable community development,
wind farm benefit income from Foundation Scotland has been invested
into a Community Benefit Fund via a balanced, ethical investment platform
(Quilter Investment Platform). This fund is designed to generate revenue
for the Parish once direct wind farm payments cease, ensuring continued
support for local initiatives and grants.
• Routine running costs and community support:
Regular expenditures contributed to the upkeep of existing facilities,
including hall maintenance, insurance, and cleaning. Additional
community-focused spending included Christmas gifts and administrative
support, fostering social cohesion and wellbeing.
• Grants and fundraising:
Direct wind farm benefits totaling £64,650 from Kinegar Wind Farm,
Ferneylea 1 Ltd and Berwickshire Community Renewables, and a further
£30,000 contribution from East Lammermuir Community Council (ELCC
distributes Crystal Rig Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund) were key
sources of funding. A total of £33,588 was transferred to the Community
Benefit Fund this year, supporting our objective to raise and manage
funds for the general benefit of the community.
