Point and Sandwick Trust is a charitable organisation that funds and supports development of community projects in its villages on the Isle of Lewis, and the wider Western Isles.
The Trust was established after a series of public meetings in 2005 and went on to build and now operates the UK’s biggest community wind farm, Beinn Ghrideag. All the net profit after the financing and running costs are deducted are gifted to the Point and Sandwick Trust for community benefit.
The Trust is governed by its Constitution and by a Board elected by the communities of Point and Sandwick (comprising 16 villages from Sandwick in the west of the Eye Peninsula to Tiumpan Head in the east). The following documents are made available on the activities of the Trust.
