Community groups tackling crucial local problems will be offered a funding boost thanks to a new council-led scheme.
The Lowestoft and Northern Parishes Community Partnership, one of several community partnerships from East Suffolk Council, will launch its Small Grants Scheme from Friday (December 18).
The scheme will offer grants of between £250 and £2,000 to voluntary and community groups which address the area s key priorities of social isolation, mental health and childhood obesity.
The funding will be made available for projects which tackle the key priorities, which could include activities helping individuals, groups or families, helping people to live happy and healthy lives or tackling childhood obesity in primary school pupils.
