Planning a community event? 🎪
Run a local community group? 🤝
Got a project that could use some extra funding? 🌱

Our Market Tolls Grant may be able to help!

Income from Fakenham’s historic Thursday Charter Market helps us support local groups, organisations, events and projects that benefit the residents of Fakenham Parish.

Over the years, we’ve supported a wide range of local initiatives, including Active Fakenham, Fakenham Auto Club, Fakenham Christmas Lights, Fakenham Town Band, Fakenham Area Conservation Trust, Fakenham Choral Society, Fakenham Food Market — and many more!

Our most recent recipient was Fakenham Society, awarded £500 towards advertising their 2026 schedule of events.

So, if your group or project benefits the Fakenham community, why not see if we can support you too? 💚

Get in touch with Fakenham Town Council for more information and an application form.

Our neighbourhood meetings (previously SNAP meetings) have moved from a quarterly presentation format to a monthly online drop-in session covering the whole of North Norfolk.

These sessions are an opportunity to speak directly with Norfolk Constabulary about issues affecting your area, share feedback, raise concerns, and help shape local policing priorities.
