About This Opportunity

The Sizewell C Community Fund will provide up to £23 million over the next decade for charities, community groups and social enterprises delivering projects that benefit local communities in East Suffolk. The focus of the fund is on reducing the impact of the construction of Sizewell C nuclear power station and leaving a legacy of benefit in the most affected communities. Priority is given to projects that benefit communities located closest to the development and activity sites, show the greatest potential for reducing the longer-term effects of Sizewell C construction activity, are supported by the wider community, provide a positive and sustainable legacy, and bring people together in the community. By addressing the economic, environmental, and social needs of local residents, the fund aims to enhance quality of life and wellbeing. The fund offers two grant programmes: Small Grants of up to £10,000 per year (maximum £30,000 over 3 years) and Large Grants over £10,000 per year with no maximum amount, though subject to proportionality considerations.
