COVID Response Fund - now open

In response to the national restrictions which came back in to place in the new year, we are launching a Covid Response Fund to support local initiatives working to help residents in our communities.

The Covid Response Fund is open to projects which support:

  • socially isolated or elderly people without support networks
  • those unable to afford essentials
  • those unable to access the internet

If you’re involved in a community group, no matter how small, apply for a financial grant of up to £3,000 today.
