Shell Fife NGL Plant and the Community

Fife NGL has been operating alongside Fife’s coastal communities for over 40 years. Our aim is to be a good neighbour by managing our operations well and helping to contribute to the well-being of local communities.

We are a big employer in the area with approximately 150 to 220 people typically working at the plant depending on activity levels, and we bring wider social and economic benefits to the area including the use of local goods and services by the plant and the workforce, and an active social investment programme.

Shell aims to provide the opportunity and resources for young people to engage in STEM. Our STEM programmes are designed to make STEM subjects fun and interesting as well as introduce young people to the vast number of careers available in Science and Engineering.

Girls in Energy

Girls in Energy is an accredited year‑long programme introducing students to both traditional and renewable energy systems, including wind and solar technologies. Delivered in partnership with Fife College, it combines weekly lessons with workshops, industry visits, hands‑on projects and career insights for pupils aged 14–16.

Shell UK's Community Grants support charities or organisations with delivery of impactful projects, events and positive outcomes for local communities.

Grants of up to £1,000 are available for community groups and charities near our operations in Fife (near Mossmorran) and Aberdeenshire (near St Fergus).

Applications are open and will be considered on a rolling basis until December 2026.

As this is a community initiative and we target the grants to benefit our neighbours, we regret we do not extend this offer beyond the communities where we operate, and we cannot process applications that do not meet the location criteria.

Shell UK has other social investment programmes that are active outside these areas where we operate.

We also support local charities through our separate ‘Perfect Week’ initiative. Local charities benefit when staff at the plant complete a week without any process or safety incidents, and a donation is made into our community charity fund. Over the years, the staff have raised thousands of pounds for local causes and charities that often resonate closely with their families and friends.
