A UK destination famed for big skies, distant horizons and heritage waterways, the East of England is a dedicated holiday hotspot where many of us have made cherished memories. Amongst the remarkable landscape features, it’s the people and organisations that make this region so special.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Visit East of England and the launch of a Community Fund Initiative to support local charities and community organisations throughout Norfolk and Suffolk. This initiative follows the success of last year’s Visit Pembrokeshire Community Fund and the previous North Wales Community Fund in partnership with Go North Wales.

We’re providing six grants of £1,000 to local charities and community groups across Norfolk and Suffolk. Find out who can apply, how to apply and more about the grants below.
