Have you been meaning to invest but just haven’t got round to it yet? You’re not alone; research shows that most investment comes in the last weeks, so act now!

Two weeks to go, and we’ve managed to raise an impressive £133,060 so far, that’s just over half way to our target. Support and interest has been great and we hope it continues as we look forward to building our first and future renewable energy schemes.

Your investment will go towards building a hydro scheme at Jordan Dam, as well as future renewable energy schemes in the city. It’s the ideal opportunity to get involved in what is becoming one of the biggest topics of our time, clean energy production. At a time when energy shortages are ripe and the government is looking to energy production from environmentally detrimental methods such as fracking, it is more important than ever that we make the government and communities realise there is another option, showing support for alternative energy sources is one way of doing this. As a community organisation, by investing, not only making a small financial return but will give back to the community through our community benefit fund.

We would all like to see our Archimedes screw turning by the end of 2013 and you could be an integral part of making that happen, I think the satisfaction of knowing that is far greater than any monetary return.

You can invest online by filling in a simple form, there’s an option to pay in installments and don’t forget you can buy investments as presents, ideal for Christmas!
