Groups and organisations who have been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and are facing financial difficulty can apply for financial support.
There are three themes to the funding: mental health, business planning and sustainability, and COVID-19 resilience.
Organisations applying for funding will be asked to provide:
- evidence they need funding
- a breakdown of the funding required
- evidence of where other funding streams have been applied for previously
