Small voluntary groups and charities in Norwich and across the county have a new opportunity to secure funding to support young people. The Norfolk Community Foundation has launched the Momentum Youth Fund, which offers grants of up to £750 for projects that benefit individuals aged 11 to 19, or up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities.
The funding is provided by Norfolk County Council and is available to small community groups with an annual income of less than £350,000. The money can be used for a variety of purposes, including purchasing equipment, running specific activities such as outreach projects or camping trips, covering staff costs, or providing training for volunteers in areas such as youth work or mental health first aid.
To ensure that the support meets the actual needs of the community, the Norfolk Youth Parliament will be directly involved in the decision-making process for the grants. This initiative follows the programme’s previous administration Momentum, part of Voluntary Norfolk.
Organisations interested in applying must submit their requests by 12pm on Monday 15 June 2026. The foundation expects to confirm which groups have been successful by mid to late July. For those looking for more information or assistance with the application process, the foundation can be contacted by phone at 01603 623958 or via email at [email protected].
