Dounreay Communities Fund

Are you a community-based organisation or charity that benefits people in Caithness and North Sutherland?

If so, you may be eligible for assistance from the Dounreay Communities Fund.

The fund is provided by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and is supplemented by UKAEA through a workforce safety dividend at Dounreay.

The fund is administered by UKAEA in association with the Dounreay Stakeholder Group, a body set up to represent the community in site issues which will meet quarterly to consider applications.
