DCC Covid-19 Fund temporarily re-opened

To support community and voluntary organisations respond to the challenges of a second lockdown, DCC has announced it is temporarily re-opening the COVID-19 Fund

The deadline for applications is 2 Dec 2020

Applicants will need to include details of how much funding will be required and how you have assessed the need for that amount. Grants will typically be between £300 and £700, although in exceptional circumstances may be up to £1,000

Through the COVID-19 Fund, DCC will provide small amounts of grant funding to community-led schemes, which identify and/or achieve the small but important things that can safely address some of the issues that are arising because of this further lockdown and in particular measures to support those who are clinically extremely vulnerable.

These can include:

safe deliveries of essential goods and services to those who are vulnerable, such as foods and medicines

support for accessing online information and services

measures to help people to stay connected and informed and to maintain and support mental health and wellbeing

transport-related initiatives that support safe community responses to the outbreak
