Love Norwich Grants:

The Love Norwich grants programme supports residents and community groups who want to improve public spaces across Norwich. Whether it’s a vibrant mural, a peaceful community garden, or a revitalised woodland trail — our grants help bring ideas to life and transform neglected spaces into places that inspire.

UPDATE: Funding Programme Closed

We’re delighted with everything that has been achieved through our Love Norwich Grants over the past three years, during which we awarded 68 grants to support local communities. The final round of Love Norwich funding has now been fully allocated, and this grant programme is therefore closed.
