The money has been granted by the company’s socio-economic
scheme, which is administered on behalf of the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority (NDA).
The Romney Resource Centre, near Dungeness, and the Maldon
District Enterprise Centre, near Bradwell, will benefit
from the cash.
The Romney Marsh project will see £38,260 from the pot of
funding to help adults gain skills in English, maths and
technology, as well as to find work placements and
employment. It will also mean three jobs will continue at
the project.
In Maldon the £60,000 awarded will continue to drive
forward the project to establish an Enterprise Centre in
the area, developing business plans and a design for the
building.
Nigel Monckton, Magnox Socio-Economic Manager, said:
The opportunity for long-term benefit from these projects
is huge, and by working in partnership with our
communities we aim to help them develop lasting
programmes that meet their specific needs.
We have helped a number of organisations to achieve their
goals by providing finance and support, and it is our
joint intention to make sure that our socio economic
support continues to achieve the greatest possible
impact.
Magnox operates both Bradwell and Dungeness A sites.
Magnox, the Cavendish Fluor Partnership and the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority work together to support a wide
range of projects, from large transformational schemes that
receive multi-year funding, to equipment that supports
education and skills development.
