Funding Boost for Local Community Projects

Community projects across East Suffolk have received a funding boost to support their activities which benefit local residents.
Following successful applications to East Suffolk Council’s Enabling Communities ‘Exemplar Grant Programme’ - 19 community projects were chosen to each receive a share of £160,000 to help deliver projects and activities which will benefit East Suffolk residents. 
Some of the projects to receive funding in Lowestoft include the buying of a minibus for the Allsorts Support Services group, providing theatre courses within Lowestoft schools at the Seagull Theatre and Lowestoft Movers, to establish dance and movement classes for the over 55s. 
​Meanwhile, the construction of a heritage hut by the Thorpeness & Aldringham Heritage Group and funds to help refurbish, upgrade and reline the main pool at Beccles Lido were some of the other projects that received funds.
