£100,000 available to communities across Broadland and South Norfolk

District Councillors from Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils each have £1,000 ward grant which they can use to fund community projects in their area.

Funding is available for schemes that bring the community together, to help kickstart new groups and support the health and wellbeing of residents.

Dave Roberts, Councillor for North Wymondham has used some of his money to help fund a new sports cage at Robert Kett Primary School and to support local cancer charity Star Throwers. Cllr Roberts said:

“District Councillors are well-positioned in the community to recognise projects that will really make a difference to local people. I am delighted that I can support Star Throwers - a fantastic charity that supports people with cancer and their families. The new sports cage will also be a welcome addition to the school and give local youngsters greater opportunities to participate in sport.”

Cllr Roberts contributed £400 towards a new caged sports area at Robert Kett Primary School, which will give children of all ages improved access to sporting activities after school and throughout the holidays. He also gave £400 to Star Throwers to replace the towels they use in their therapy rooms.
