Description
Administered by Suffolk Community Foundation, the Small Grants programme supports East Suffolk communities affected by construction of Sizewell C nuclear power station. It aims to improve quality of life and wellbeing, reduce longer-term construction impacts, strengthen community cohesion and leave a positive, sustainable legacy. Priority goes to communities closest to development and associated activity sites, particularly within 5km.
The programme funds project delivery and development, including community activities, staffing, equipment and building improvements. Feasibility studies, research, consultation and engagement are eligible where groundwork demonstrates construction-related impact and need, with a clear plan to act on findings. Projects should have strong local connections, meaningful community support, inclusive participation, value for money and benefits extending beyond the grant.
