Staffordshire County Council Launches Covid-19 Support Fund

New Fund Launches to Help Communities Affected by Coronavirus

The COVID-19 Support Fund has been launched by Staffordshire County Council to provide grants to groups to help support communities during the Coronavirus outbreak and ensure that the voluntary sector continues to thrive now and after the crisis.

Each county councillor has £2,500 to support community groups in their area.

The funding can be used by new or existing groups that are helping to support people through the crisis or to keep their activities and services running.

Projects could include those helping people who are self-isolating or are in quarantine, or to help develop a network of local volunteers, or to help existing voluntary groups to keep going if they are experiencing a lack of income.

Groups should speak to their local County Councillor before making an application

County Councillor Mike Sutherland - Etching Hill and the Heath

County Councillor Phil Hewitt - Hednesford & Rawnsley

County Councillor Bryan Jones - Hednesford & Rawnsley
