East Suffolk Council
East Suffolk Boost Grant Scheme
This new East Suffolk Council grant scheme is part of our Covid Recovery Plan which includes a range of projects identified through our work with clinically vulnerable people over the last 15 months. During the lockdown phases of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was clear that there were specific groups who were particularly impacted, including those with disabilities, dementia and visual and/or hearing impairments and their carers.
Boost offers grants between £250 and £5,000, from a total pot of £180,000, to voluntary, community and social enterprise groups (VCSE) and Town/Parish Council who are seeking to deliver added value projects to tackle specific needs in East Suffolk.
The four priorities that this grant scheme targets are;
- Groups, projects and activities that support people with Dementia and their carers
- Groups, projects and activities that support people with Disabilities and Visual and/or Hearing impairments
- Sustainable Community Food projects, for example community pantries, community allotments and cook and eat projects
- Community projects to help people get Fit and Active, for example. community sports, walks, activity classes, outdoor gym equipment etc.
Round one is now closed, but Round two is open and closes on Thursday 6th January 2022. A panel meeting will take place w/c 24th January 2022 and groups will be notified about the outcome of their applications after panel meeting.
