A major pot of funding for businesses and community groups located in and around Reepham has just been launched and you could be eligible for support. This funding is aimed at helping the economic development of rural communities and can be used to help with a range of projects.
If you have a project that will benefit Reepham or the surrounding area, then it may be suitable for funding.
There is around £15 million available to support projects in Norfolk over the next four years. This is public money coming from a number of government and international funding pots and is being channelled through what are known as Local Action Groups.
If you represent a local group, run a business or are thinking of starting a business, you are invited to drop in to find out more over tea or coffee as part of an informal open session on Tuesday 19 April from 4.30–8.30 pm in the foyer of Reepham College, Whitwell Road, Reepham.
This event is specifically designed to be informal; you are welcome to take as long or as little time as you like talking to us. Members of the Reepham Chamber of Commerce and Town Team will be available to discuss ideas with you on a one-to-one basis: we want as many local businesses and community groups as possible to benefit.
Whether you need £1,000, £100,000 or more, the funding will be distributed in the form of a grant in return for a business or group providing some level of “match funding”.
This event is being run by local people with no strings attached or incentives. They just want Reepham businesses to be able to make the most of this opportunity.
