Norfolk County Council have anew Community Fund to support new and existing community organisations who provide activities for 0-5 year olds.
The Norfolk Early Childhood Community Fund will hand out grants of up to £2,500 to projects that will support children aged 0-5 to achieve their developmental milestones and ensure children and their parents or carers aren’t lonely or isolated.
Up to £250,000 is available annually to help new groups set up or existing groups to expand. The money is being made available as part of Norfolk County Council’s Early Childhood and Family Service which launched last month.
It can also provide advice and guidance on how to set up a new group, what things they need to consider and what support is available.
The money can go towards new equipment, training, or set-up costs such as public liability insurance or promotional materials.
A grants panel made up of parents and local partners, including Norfolk County Council, District Council, and Action for Children, will decide which applications will be granted funding. The first panel will meet on 27th November to consider applications. The deadline for November applications is the 20th.

Norfolk County Council have created some new pages on their website specifically for Farming and Highways issues:
Norfolk County Council Farming and Highways information
Farming activities can have a significant effect on both the structure and appearance of our rural roads and Norfolk County Council is keen to work with the farming community to help ensure our roads are safe for all users.
A new section on the website outlines how we can work together to help improve road safety and the roadside environment.
The web pages include information on:
· Cleaning of mud and spoil
· Moving livestock
· Maintaining ditches, drains and hedges
· Fire and straw burning
· Agricultural vehicles on the road
· Use of agricultural road signs
We have annual contracts with local farmers in allocated areas to help with snow clearance so please contact us if you would like to help (particularly in the west of the county) by emailing [email protected]
There is also a list of farmers without an annual contract who can help with ad-hoc clearance when snow is particularly heavy, for example during last year’s ‘Beast from the East’.
In Norfolk, the Warm Homes Fund is offering funding towards the cost of installing first time central heating (mainly gas) in privately rented or owned homes. This is coordinated by Broadland District Council in partnership with Great Yarmouth Borough Council.
The central heating will be at no cost to eligible home owners, with up to 75% grant funding for landlords with qualifying tenants.
You could qualify if:
We will gather some information and evidence from you. We will then pass this information to the Norfolk Warm Home Team and they will contact you to arrange a survey.
A new central heating system, or other energy efficiency measures such as insulation, will be installed by an approved company, giving you confidence and trust in the work undertaken. This should make it easier to keep warm at home without increasing your fuel bills.
