The Friends of Thetford Station benefitted from a small grant to buy gardening equipment and Thetford Singers, Music Arts Project and Thetford Players received grants to support music and drama activities in the town.

There are two schemes; small grants of up to £300, which can be applied for throughout the year, or medium grants of up £2,000.
