Ellesmere Port: Stanlow company offers 100 grants for centenary

EET Fuels – formerly Essar Oil UK – announced its ‘100 grants for 100 years’ initiative today (Tuesday, June 19), which aims to provide financial support to community projects close to the Stanlow site, including Ellesmere Port and surrounding areas.

The Centenary celebration will also encompass a series of events and initiatives that recognise Stanlow's significant contribution to the Cheshire community, the North West region, and the UK as a whole.

The company say that it will also use the Centenary to recognise, celebrate and give thanks to the communities connected to Stanlow while demonstrating its long-term commitment to support these communities long into the future.

“The Stanlow Refinery 100 Grant Fund is our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for the past century.”

The Stanlow Refinery 100 Grant Fund is open to applications from registered charities and not-for-profit organisations working in the following sector:

  • Education and skills development 
  • Environment and sustainability 
  • Community health and well-being
  • Culture and heritage
