Grant information
Community Choice is open for applications
Focusing on Norfolk
For small charities and community interest companies (CICs)
We are giving passionate people working with small charities and community interest companies (CICs) across Norfolk the chance to secure a grant of £1,000 for their organisation.
Every day, dedicated volunteers and community leaders roll up their sleeves to support local people, strengthen communities and improve health and wellbeing across the county. If your organisation is helping people to live healthier, happier lives, we encourage you to put it forward for consideration.
Nominate NowFAQs
There is some information that will need the input from the organisation. It will be tricky for you to answer a question about what the money will be spent on if you are not part of the organisation. Please ask someone involved in the organisation to complete the form.
No, you must use the form above.
Many organisations have multiple volunteers and staff members, if multiple people nominate the same organisation this is acceptable. We will not accept multiple nominations from the same person for the same organisation.
This funding round is focused on supporting organisations that deliver services within Norfolk.
Norfolk is a county in the East of England and includes areas such as Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn, Thetford, Cromer, Dereham, North Walsham, Fakenham, Wymondham and surrounding villages and rural communities.
To be eligible, organisations must be able to demonstrate that their activities benefit people living in Norfolk.
We may ask applicants to provide details of the geographical area they serve as part of the due diligence process.
Community Choice occasionally focuses on specific geographical areas as a way of reaching and supporting communities across different parts of the country.
By concentrating funding within a particular area, we can shine a spotlight on local organisations, celebrate the work they do and ensure support reaches a diverse range of communities over time.
The locations selected for Community Choice may vary from round to round, helping us engage with organisations working in different regions and responding to the needs of local communities.
You will get the money as soon as we have verified that your organisation meets the criteria. Likely within 4 weeks.

- Activities that improve health and wellbeing in England, Scotland and Wales
- An annual income of £300,000 or less
- Been running for 2 years or more
- A bank account in the organisation’s name
