We would like to say a huge thank you to all those who have helped to provide this vital emergency support to residents in need. The Councillor COVID Grant Scheme was launched in March 2020 offering every district councillor a budget of £2,000 to award to community and voluntary groups that were responding to the pandemic. The scheme has funded some incredible projects which have provided help for self-isolating and vulnerable residents, counselling and mental health support, establishing covid support groups, support to care homes and resources for remote working. There are now more schemes in place to support businesses, individuals and community groups. Please contact communityenablement@southandvale.gov.uk who can signpost you to relevant grants schemes and/or income generation ideas such as joining the White Horse Community Lottery. For individuals and families, please contact communityconnectors@southandvale.gov.uk for advice.
