The 2026 round of the Dogger Bank Operator Fund will provide up to £1,000 per project for groups covering South Tyneside, Redcar and Cleveland, and the East Riding of Yorkshire. A total of £80,000 is available, funded annually by the Dogger Bank Wind Farm. The grants form part of Dogger Bank’s wider £25 million community fund, designed to support coastal communities throughout the operational life of the wind farm. "The grant from the Dogger Bank Wind Farm Operator Fund was integral to delivering a successful festival and we are enormously thankful for the support provided." Marty Devlin from the club said: "We are delighted with the new Ergo boxing gloves that we have purchased with the grant we received from the Dogger Bank Wind Farm Operator Fund.
