Solar panels for Duddy
At the beginning of 2020 following an amazing fundraising response by the school, the pupils, parents/carers and the surrounding community, the Trust organised the installation of solar panels on the nursery roof. Additional funding was also given by Scottish Power’s Energy Network and the British Airways Carbon Fund. We also received advice, support and a loan (now repaid!) from the CARES team at Local Energy Scotland.
