Community Funding

First batch of community grants have been awarded

We're proud to announce that 85 amazing local charities and voluntary groups helping vulnerable residents through the coronavirus crisis have been awarded £260,000 (so far) to help with essential costs.

Our £1m Community Fund is one of the ways we are providing support for communities during the coronavirus outbreak.

If you have applied to the Fund and haven’t heard from us yet, don’t worry, we will be in contact as soon as we can. We are fast-tracking applications and allocating grants on a daily basis.

Apply to the Fund or find out more about which groups have received funding so far.

Find out what we're doing to ensure that patients receive this support quickly, and how in doing this means that we will continue to be able to free up hospital beds for people who need them.
