Who can apply?

  • Community organisations with an income of under £100,000 per annum and whose purpose is to support the development of individuals and services within communities can apply for PAID places on the workshop programme.
  • Community groups with an income of less than £25,000 per annum can apply to a bursary fund with grants of up to £100 to fund volunteers to access the programme

In line with the Foundation’s original aims, priority for bursary support grants will be given to:

  • projects supporting young people and adult volunteers living in Norfolk;
  • projects that have a direct benefit of attracting young people and adult volunteers to serving their local communities;
  • projects that provide young people and adult volunteers with new skills, personal development and new experiences;
  • projects which clearly demonstrate measurable outcomes and clear benefits to the beneficiaries.
