OXFORDSHIRE is a hotspot for investors who put cash into community causes, a new report has said. The Make Money Do Good report, published this week, reveals £7.9m has been invested in community schemes across the county. These include the Westmill Solar Co-operative at Watchfield, near Shrivenham, which raised £5.8m in 2012, and Osney Lock Hydro, which is building a hydro-electricity generator on the River Thames at Osney Lock, in Oxford. Low Carbon Hub, which supported the Osney hydro scheme and put solar panels on the roof of the Oxford Bus Company’s garage last year, launched a share offer for £1.5m earlier this month.
