Community Group Policy

Ideally, we would invest into a project or an event that has been submitted by a legal body, however in some cases we do fund projects for groups that are based within the borough of Great Yarmouth, but which have the following information and documentation in place within the organisation:

  1. A governing document (this could be a constitution, rules, articles of association etc.)
  2. The governing body must be made up of at least 3 unconnected individuals *
  3. The governing body must have a bank account in the group’s name with at least two unconnected co-signatories who are required to authorise any payments *
  4. We would also expect that the governing body has appropriate policies for equalities and safeguarding.
  5. We would need to be satisfied that the group has the suitable skills to deliver the project or event, in line with all legal requirements and within agreed timelines.

*Unconnected in this instance means there must be no relation either by blood, marriage, a long-term relationship, or people living together at the same address

To apply for any funding, the governing body must demonstrate that these requirements have been met, by providing copies of governance documents within the application process.
