Dogger Bank Wind Farm has once again supported a wide range of community groups in South Tyneside through its community fund, with grassroots football clubs among those benefiting from the latest round of investment.
The funding is helping to strengthen local communities, from improving access to sport to creating more inclusive environments for young people, highlighting the important role community clubs play in supporting wellbeing and bringing people together.
One of the groups to benefit is Whiteleas Junior Football Club, which used its grant to support girls across the club and help break down barriers to participation.
The funding was used to provide WUKA period pants for female players, giving them greater comfort and confidence during training sessions and matches.
A spokesperson for the club said: “They were all very appreciative of the grant for the items they received.”
The initiative has helped ensure that all players can continue to enjoy football without disruption, reinforcing the club’s commitment to inclusion and equal access to sport.
Grassroots football clubs play a key role in building teamwork, confidence and community spirit, and Dogger Bank’s continued investment reflects its long-term commitment to supporting local priorities.
The community fund supports projects across South Tyneside, Redcar & Cleveland and East Riding of Yorkshire – the areas closest to the wind farm’s construction and operations.
Through small grants, the fund enables local organisations to improve quality of life, encourage participation and bring people together through shared activities.
This latest round of funding builds on Dogger Bank’s wider ambition to create a lasting positive impact in coastal communities, supporting initiatives that promote opportunity, wellbeing and a strong sense of community.
