Sheringham Shoal Community Fund

The Sheringham Shoal Community Fund supports projects proposed by groups inspired to do something new and positive in their community. Projects should focus on reducing climate change, assisting the sustainability of North Norfolk communities, having a marine environment or marine safety focus, promoting environmental sensitivity and renewable energy, or contributing to education or employment in the renewable energy industry. The Fund aims to award half of the funding to Wells-next-the-Sea and the surrounding area with the remaining funds being available to the wider North Norfolk District area. The Fund has around £150,000 to distribute per year with typical largest grants being between £10,000 and £15,000. Recent grants have included funding for air source heating in community buildings, CCTV to improve beach safety, marine engineering workshops, and converting streetlights to low energy LED lighting.
