Stand with those targeted by Green GEN Cymru Ltd to protecting Welsh land, rights, and communities - 14th April 2025
URGENT: Court case on April 22nd, 2025 – Your support is needed now!
We need to raise £60,000 to provide legal support for those being targeted.
Note: When donating, please note that GoFundMe automatically suggests adding a 17.5% tip to the platform, but you can adjust this amount using the slider—even reducing it to zero if preferred. However, a small processing fee will still be deducted from your donation regardless of the tip amount, as this covers GoFundMe's operating costs.
The Threat Facing Welsh Communities
Across Wales, livelihoods and communities are under threat as Green GEN Cymru Ltd (GGC) seeks to force access to private land for their pylons, putting local farmers and residents in the crossfire.
Some of these individuals have now been summonsed to Llanelli Magistrates' Court on April 22nd, 2025, where they face the daunting prospect of legal action, simply for protecting their livelihoods, land, and homes. If GGC succeed, they will be given the power to access land by force.
We believe that these individuals are being used as test cases in GGC's broader campaign to push through their plans, and they are bravely taking the brunt of this corporate overreach on behalf of us all. But if they lose, it won't just be their land at risk - it will set a dangerous precedent for all of us in Wales.
This is about more than just one case - it's about protecting our country and the livelihoods, homes, rights, and communities who live here.
How Your Donation Will Help:
Cover solicitor and barrister fees for those facing legal action on April 22nd and beyond.
Provide a strong, united defence to challenge GGC's aggressive tactics in court.
Ensure landowners aren't forced into signing licenses due to financial pressure or intimidation.
Spread the word about the dangerous precedent GGC's actions could set for all of Wales.
"We never thought we'd end up in court simply for protecting our own land. This fight isn't just for us - it's for every Welsh landowner who could face the same threat tomorrow. Your support gives us the strength to stand up to these corporate bullies." - Local Farmer
The first court hearing is set for April 22nd, 2025 at Llanelli Magistrates' Court. We need to secure legal representation immediately to prepare a strong defence.
Every day counts in this battle. Your donation today will directly impact our ability to fight back against GGC's aggressive tactics.
Stand Together as Wales Against Pylons
We must act now before it's too late. Together, we can fight back and show GGC that Wales will not be intimidated. Every donation counts and brings us closer to stopping GGC in its tracks.
If you cannot donate at this time, please help by sharing this campaign with others who care about protecting Welsh communities.
