Purpose

Authorisation to Release Funds from the Communities Spark
Fund - May 2025

Decision

That the following Spark fund grant award
totalling £500 is approved:
 
Mid Norfolk Stroke Group £500 -
To continue running the Watton Mid Norfolk Stroke Group for stroke
survivors and family members/carers, there is a great need for this
service in the Breckland area to allow stroke survivors to get
together in a safe environment.
 
This will provide an opportunity for members
of the group to access support, socialise, chat, and catch up with
others, to develop friendships and a support network that will
expand during and outside of the sessions.

Reasons for the decision

This organisation is proposing
to enhance existing provision, which improves community health and
wellbeing and aligns to the Inspiring Communities Corporate Plan
priorities. These activities aren’t currently available in
the local area or easily accessible in a nearby Ward.
