If you have a business in the Rochford District, you may qualify for a grant to help you through the financial impact of the coronavirus.
To date £18,392,500 has been paid out in grants to 1,668 business in the Rochford District. These grants have been vital to our local economy, helping ensure the survival of shops, cafes, hotels, restaurants and many other businesses.
