The £15.5 million COVID-19 Charities Fund will open for applications on Monday June 15th to help local charities facing financial difficulties as a result of the current public health emergency.    

The funding programme will provide financial support to charities which have lost income due to the impact of Covid-19 and are unable to cover unavoidable costs until September 30th 2020.

The programme will provide up to £75,000 for eligible organisations and will be administered on behalf of the Department for Communities by The National Lottery Community Fund.  The amount of funding required to cover immediate costs and prevent short term closure will vary for each organisation.  

More information on the Charity Fund is available here.
