Hello, I’ve just received this information from West Suffolk Council.
This is to inform you of a new grant scheme that is being launched today by West Suffolk Council.
The new Go For It grants are part of the delivery of the council’s ambition for a thriving West Suffolk.
The scheme will offer up to £300 of seed funding to help not-for-profit groups deliver improvements to their local area.
Go For It grants will back ideas that will bring residents together, inspire people to get more active, increase participation, support health and wellbeing or
respond to local needs through innovation and activities.
This will help toward the delivery of the council’s strategic priority for Thriving Communities.
The grant may be used to support start-up costs such as equipment, venue hire, promotional materials, transport and more.
The scheme which is backed using £10,000 of funds allocated to the council from Central Government from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
There is no deadline for applications although once all of the money is allocated the scheme will close.
