Community groups in north Norfolk can apply for grants of up to �5,000 through a scheme run by the Norfolk Community Foundation.

Money is available to distribute to community and voluntary groups based in the area which are working to promote health and well being, tackling disadvantage and improving links within their communities.

The awards, which will be made in July, are open to groups which are largely volunteer led, have a constitution and have a bank account with two signatories.

Funding can be used for a variety of costs including running costs, special projects and equipment.

Projects funded at the last meeting in January included equipment and training for volunteers for a luncheon club, enhancing a village playground and providing holiday sports activity programmes in three villages.
