Grants of up to £10,000 are available for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations which are based and/or clearly operating within the borough of Great Yarmouth.
The Great Yarmouth Community Investment Fund has been made possible by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and other local funders who wish to make a difference in Great Yarmouth.
All applicants should be working to meet at least one of the following four priority areas:
1. Reducing health inequality by encouraging healthier lifestyles, providing support for mental and physical health, and strengthening community support.
2. Improving education and skills pathways, attainment, and creating career ambition.
3. Reducing vulnerability and supporting those at risk of exploitation.
4. Reducing isolation and social exclusion by building community networks and cohesion.
Projects which meet one or more of these aims will be prioritised for funding.
This funding might be right for you if:
- You are seeking project costs or continuation costs relating to the ongoing development needs of your organisationÂ
- You are working in partnership with other local organisations
- You are filling a gap in provision in the Borough of Great Yarmouth
- You are seeking continuation funding for a project previously supported by the Fund that has clearly demonstrated its impact against the Fund’s priorities

- You can spend your funding within 12 months of receipt
