Coronavirus support: clubs, societies and not-for-profits

We want to help community organisations access the support, funding and digital services that are available.

Grants and funding

We understand it’s a difficult time for not-for-profit organisations.  Small charities, clubs and societies may not be eligible for government lending schemes.

To help you through these challenges, we’ve provided some information on external grants and other potential funding sources that could help your organisation manage the impact of coronavirus.
