Description
Administered by Suffolk Community Foundation, the Large Grants programme supports projects addressing economic, environmental and social needs created or exacerbated by construction of Sizewell C nuclear power station. It forms part of a Community Fund providing up to £23 million over a decade to benefit East Suffolk communities, reduce construction impacts, improve wellbeing and leave a lasting positive legacy.
Priority goes to communities closest to development and associated activity sites, particularly within 5km. The fund supports buildings, equipment, services and activities, alongside feasibility studies, research and consultation that establish construction-related needs and lead to a clear delivery plan. Projects should demonstrate local support, bring people together, offer value for money and sustain benefits beyond the grant period.
