If you are a small group of residents looking to have a neighbourhood meet up around an issue, canvass neighbours on joining a new community group or simply hold an activity or event to bring people together, the community enabling team can make purchases on your behalf of up to £50.
This £50 can be used to hire a meeting venue, provide refreshments for meetings, pay for road closures or other small costs.
To access this fund, you do not need to be a formal community group, simply three or more residents wishing to make a difference. Purchases will be made on your behalf by community enabling officers.
Get Together grants are available as a one-off award to a group. We would consider a second application from a group only if it would enable them to explore a new and separate idea or project.
In addition to the £50 funding, officers can help you access equipment to borrow such as gazebos, games, flip charts or other things your event might need to work well. Visit the Lumi website and see what's available to borrow.
How to apply
There is no formal application to complete, simply contact community@norwich.gov.uk and an officer will visit you to see if we can help.
