How you can help

Contact your MSP and these list MSP's. Tell them you think there should be a local public enquiry as part of the Viking Energy windfarm application. Ask them to put your concerns to the Scottish Energy minister Fergus Ewing. MSP contact details.

Donations and fundraising

Sustainable Shetland runs entirely on volunteer effort. We have no paid staff. No office. The only expenses reimbursed are postage, some stationery and hall hire. For everything else, like travel, telephone and other expenses, these costs are met from committee members own pockets. In short the organisation is run on a shoestring. In contrast, Viking Energy spend tens of thousands of pounds of Shetland Charitable Trust money, your money – on promoting their project.

With your support we can help level this unequal playing field. We need your money. Your help in raising money for Sustainable Shetland.

Cheques made payable to Sustainable Shetland can be sent to our treasurer:

Join Sustainable Shetland

We are a democratic organisation, you can read our constitution here. A membership form is here. Joining gives you a chance to participate in how we made decisions. What we do and how we do it. Membership also gives us a mandate to act as a group representing many members of the community. Membership is already around 753 people. For a total population of only 22,000 this probably makes Sustainable Shetland the largest membership organisation in the isles. Membership is helpful, participation is even better!
