Love Your Market Town grant - Pride of Place funding

What is the Love Your Market Town grant?

The Love Your Market Town grant (opens new window) is an initiative proudly funded by Breckland District Council and Norfolk County Council. This exciting programme aims to boost our market towns by supporting unique projects that celebrate local pride, engage communities, increase footfall, and raise awareness of our high streets.

Are you eligible?

Applications are welcome from any local groups or business, but any activity must be a brand-new idea and should support multiple areas or services within a Breckland market town. 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.

The Love Your Market Town grant (opens new window) scheme is to part-fund or fully-fund projects. Individual awards will range from £1,000 to a maximum of £5,000.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 31 August 2025.
