Community Funding Grants

Infant Feeding Community Grant

Through the Norfolk Start for Life and family hubs programme we are able to offer a community grant to any group who run sessions (or intend to run sessions) to support infant feeding in the first 1001 days of a babies life, from conception to their second birthday.

The Start For Life Infant Feeding Community Grant is available to support opportunities to develop, enhance and grow continuity of a group. This could offer a chance to update resources, extend training, increase number of sessions offered, rent to expand to additional locations or bridge a gap in running costs.

This grant could enable volunteers in community groups to train as peer supporters, providing a qualification for the individuals and greater knowledge for the members of the group to benefit from.

If you are considering applying for the grant, contact Family Hubs at familyhub@norfolk.gov.uk to arrange a meeting to discuss your next steps.
