| Norfolk Rural Community Council |
The Local Network Fund -
the LNF is aimed at enabling the community to provide projects and activities for children and young people with limited opportunities or access to services that many young people take for granted. Grants are for voluntary and community groups working with children and young people up to 19 years old (or 25 for young people with learning disabilities). A wide range of groups and projects such as parents and toddlers, pre-school, youth clubs, sports groups, drama clubs have had grants. The minimum grant is £250 and the maximum £7,000. Any project that can demonstrate it will make a difference to the lives of children and young people can be considered for funding. Perhaps there is an existing group in your village that could benefit or an idea for a new group that needs support to help get it off the ground. For advice and further information, contact the NRCC and ask for the LNF Team. Email LNFchildren@norfolkcc.org.uk or for an information pack, call 0845 1130161.
The Rural Projects Fund
