Shale Wealth Fund

The government is consulting in order to seek views on the delivery method and priorities of the Shale Wealth Fund. Responses are welcomed from individuals or from organisations, such as charities, businesses, local authorities and community groups.

The consultation seeks to explore the following key issues:

• what the government’s priorities should be for the Shale Wealth Fund
• the allocation of funding from the Shale Wealth Fund to different stakeholder groups
• the extent to which the industry community benefits scheme and the Shale Wealth Fund should be aligned
• potential delivery models for the Shale Wealth Fund – to ensure that households and communities benefit, and to
• decide how funds are spent, and how any process should be administered
