Coronavirus Community Support Fund

The Government’s new Coronavirus Community Support Fund, administered by the National Lottery is open for applications (as of 10am on Friday 22nd May).

This makes available £200m in Government funding aimed primarily at small to medium organisations in England with two key objectives:

• To increase community support to vulnerable people affected by the COVID-19 crisis, through the work of civil society organisations.
• To reduce temporary closures of essential charities and social enterprises, ensuring services for vulnerable people impacted by COVID-19 have the financial resources to operate, and so reduce the burden on public services.
