UP! ROLL UP! GRANTS INFO AT FAIRS AND CARNIVALS THIS SUMMER! |
The Grants Directory allows people to find out how to get
money towards all kinds of activities in North Norfolk from disability modifications at
home to arts initiatives and ‘ green’ community projects—all the grants, in
fact that NNDC offers.
Details of these grants are also now available online, by going to
www.northnorfolk.org/grants/
The online grants search service is provided by information services specialists j4b plc
which runs a network of such sites across the country to help businesses and community
groups get access to vital funds.
NNDC’s processes for offering grants have been streamlined and improved significantly
in the last two years. The Council’s approach has been so successful that it was
commended by Parliament in April for its new arrangements for funding voluntary and
community groups.
NNDC was praised not only for its simplified application process and online service, but
also the way in which it gives advance payments of small grants (rather than invoicing
after services have been delivered) and its local promotion of available grants.
NNDC’s Chief Executive, Philip Burton, said ’’The commendation is
particularly timely as we embark on a process aimed at strengthening our partnership with
the voluntary and community sector.’’
‘’We are aware of the energy and enthusiasm which exists within local
organisations and our vision is to support the sector through enabling the access to
resources and advice throughout the District’’
