Community activity funding
If you’re planning something that could bring people together or brighten your neighbourhood, there’s support available to help make it happen. Take a look at how Norwich City Council can help.
Sometimes, just a small amount of funding is all it takes to turn a great idea into a real community activity.
Whether you're planning a local event, starting a new group, or improving your neighbourhood, Norwich City Council offers a range of funding options to help you get started.
What’s available?
We offer different sizes of funding “pots” – from small grants to larger support – depending on your needs. These are designed to help community groups and organisations bring people together and make a positive impact locally.
Find out what community grants are available
You can also find extra funding opportunities through LUMi, our local community resource hub.
Who can apply?
Most funding is aimed at established community groups or organisations. If you're just starting out or unsure how to set up a group, don’t worry – our friendly Community Enabling Team is here to help guide you through the process.
