There is new funding available through the West Suffolk Local Strategic Partnership. This year’s round of grant schemes have joined forces with Babergh East Local Strategic Partnership, meaning that groups across the whole of Babergh, east and west, will be eligible to apply to the Partnership Fund. Around £350,000 has been set aside for the Partnership Fund which will be offering grants up to £50,000 (either capital or revenue).

The West Suffolk LSP has also a Community Chest fund with around £20,000 and will be offering grants of up to £1,500 to projects in West Suffolk only. 

Groups in East Babergh will be able to apply to Babergh East LSP for grants up to £1,000 or, for exceptional projects, applications up to £2,000 will be considered. See email following for more details.

The WSLSP is also holding a Forum event on 19 June at Gt. Whelnetham Village Hall and will focus on funding and how to get it. This is an ideal opportunity to find out more about the Community Chest Grants and Partnership Fund Grants.
