A NEW Community Fund has been launched to support charities and groups.
Newhaven Enterprise Zone has started the Newhaven EZ Community Fund with £25,000 in grants up for grabs.
The launch took place at Newhaven’s Festival of Belonging and applications are now open for grants up to £5,000.
Programme Director Corinne Day said: “It’s fantastic to see the community out in full force at this fantastic event.
“There is a renewed energy in Newhaven, and it is great to be able to discuss with local residents how we are all to be a part of that change.
“We are delighted to launch this community fund and look forward to seeing it contribute to Newhaven’s bright future.”
The fund will be managed by the Sussex Community Foundation and will give support to charities and non-profit organisations. Applications must benefit Newhaven. The annual pot may rise in future years.
