Breckland Council Inspiring Communities 2025/26

Breckland Council Inspiring Communities is a match funding scheme providing grants of up to £5,000 for groups working in Breckland District. Applicants can apply for a maximum of 50% of the total project cost therefore match funding is required. This can be from applicants' own funds, external funders or in the form of in-kind contributions. The funding is for community projects that can demonstrate their alignment to the priorities of the Inspiring Communities programme and the Breckland Health and Wellbeing Partnership. Inspiring Communities Priorities address vulnerability and work with the most disadvantaged members of communities to improve their life chances, with a focus on domestic abuse, mental health, social isolation and loneliness, and early intervention projects which prevent escalation into crisis. Breckland Health and Wellbeing Priorities aim to enhance the health and wellbeing of Breckland's residents by reducing health inequalities, including preventing cardiovascular disease, improving mental health, tackling alcohol dependency issues, and promoting positive health outcomes at any age through a lifecycle approach.
