Description
The Sizewell C Community Fund, managed by Suffolk Community Foundation, provides significant financial support to charities, community groups, and social enterprises working to benefit communities in East Suffolk affected by the construction of the Sizewell C nuclear power station. The fund aims to reduce the adverse effects of construction while fostering a positive, sustainable legacy for the most impacted areas. Projects should demonstrate strong community engagement, long-term benefit, and inclusivity, addressing economic, environmental, or social needs. Funding is available for both capital and revenue costs, and proposals must clearly relate to the impacts or opportunities arising from Sizewell C.
