Content: Authorisation to Release Funds from the Communities Spark Fund - May 2025 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. 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. · To approve the grant award · Not to approve the grant reward
