GEL will always strive to bring benefits to the local communities in both the short and long term. These include:

• A Community Fund of at least £40,000 per site shared between sustainable, cohesive community projects in the local parishes.
• More than £1.5million per project is put directly into the local economy through local business engagement.
• A dedicated community manager will keep the public informed about the project progress and report back on concerns or issues to the GEL team to ensure an open dialogue is maintained.
• An education and careers Programme for schools across Cornwall provides engaging resources and talks as well as careers advice from primary school to university.
• GEL will increase every site’s biodiversity by more than 10%
• Direct and indirect green jobs will be created in Cornwall.
