Ten thousand pounds is available to local groups but applications need to be submitted quickly because the deadline to apply for a share of the money is January 12.
The scheme is being run by Breckland Youth Council with funding from the Breckland Partnership.
Applications need to show that that proposed projects will either: help build stronger and safer communities; improve health and well-being; improve access to services; or raise environmental sustainability.

After January 12 a shortlist will be drawn up and the projects chosen will have the chance to sell their ideas to a panel of youth councillors at a presentation evening. The winning projects will be announced on January 28.
