Information about the Love Your Town investment fund
Love Your Town 24/25 (King’s Lynn, Hunstanton and Downham Market)
The Love Your Town scheme has relaunched for 2024/25 with an increased investment fund total of £20,000.
Community groups and businesses are invited to apply for grants of up to £2,000 to bring ideas to life to help generate footfall and increased activity for the local town centres of Downham Market, Hunstanton and Kings Lynn.
Grants will be awarded to projects which help to support and grow the local economy, increase pride in the area, and increase footfall into the town centres.
The £20,000 investment pot is provided through UK Shared Prosperity Funding via the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, and funding from Norfolk County Council.
Businesses and community groups have until 5pm on Friday 13 September 2024 to submit an Expression of Interest.
How to apply
Applications are welcome from any local group or business, but activity proposals must be brand-new and should support multiple areas or services within the towns of King’s Lynn, Downham Market or Hunstanton.
There is no limit to the kind of activities that can be funded but the idea must have a link to creating interest or increasing footfall in town centres.
A series of Idea Pitch sessions will be held in Autumn 2024, where local groups or businesses can present ideas to a panel to ask for a share of the funding.
For more information, and to express interest in bidding for a grant, please visit the Love Your Market Town page on the Norfolk County Council website.
