East Suffolk Council
Funding scheme opens in Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth
Voluntary organisations and community groups in Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth are invited to apply for funding to support projects helping to ease social isolation and boost wellbeing.
The Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth Small Grants Scheme, made possible with funding from the Community Partnership Board, will provide grants for projects that help East Suffolk residents to improve their access to social activity, as well as wellbeing facilities and services.
Organisations can apply for between £250 and £2,000 from a total fund of £10,000 for a range of projects, providing they support individuals and families to tackle social isolation and loneliness, and/or enable people to live healthier, active and sustainable lifestyles.
Cllr Sarah Whitelock, East Suffolk Council’s cabinet member for Communities, Leisure and Tourism said: “We are delighted to be able to offer this small grants scheme again this year. The Community Partnership would like to support smaller, grassroots organisations that can sometimes struggle to access larger grants and who would benefit enormously from a little extra financial help. Community groups, voluntary organisations and town and parish councils are all encouraged to apply.”
Applications for this funding round have now closed.
