Community funded Solar PV project – Your opportunity to invest

We’ve joined forces with Greater Manchester Community Renewables (GMCR) a community benefit society, set up and run by volunteers to install community-owned renewable energy across Greater Manchester.

By partnering with GMCR we aim to install here at Wellington School the largest community-owned solar array in Greater Manchester!

GMCR raises funds through community shares and has already installed solar arrays at 8 schools.  

They launched their share offer for our school on Monday to coincide with World Environment Day and aim to raise £350,000 by 3^rd July. 

This investment opportunity is open to everyone, it will help us to save on our energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, as well as inspire more climate action.

The minimum investment is £100, and you’ll earn up to 5% interest per year.
