We use a wide range of tools to tell us about the needs of people and communities across Suffolk. These tools are open to everyone to use.
We ask all applicants to the culture project fund’s large and medium grants to use these tools when developing a culture project.
The application form asks you to tell us what tools you have used to identify the needs of the people or community you are planning to work with. We need you to tell us how the tools have helped you shape and develop your ideas.
We advise you to use the tools on our Healthy Suffolk website. These are easy to use and will ensure that we understand your planning and the people and communities you work with.
