College cash for students
The money donated by Dong Energy from their skills fund allocation will help students struggling to afford course books or pay for travel to and from college.
The money has been made available as part of the community benefit fund in support of the Walney Extension offshore wind farm, currently under construction nine kilometres off the Cumbrian coast, near Barrow-in Furness.
