Middlesbrough Council is conscious that the financial health of the Voluntary and Community sector in the town has been hit by COVID-19. Changes to service delivery and increased demand have all led to greater strain on the sector. In order to maintain and increase capacity to support vulnerable groups whilst also reducing impact on statutory services £250k of the Test and Trace grant received by the Council is allocated through this grant programme to support VCS capacity to respond to outbreak management, prevention and recovery.
The funding is aimed at sustaining the capacity of key VCS partners, in particular those who directly support:
-
- Older population
- BAME communities
- Shielded people
- Clinical risk groups (including multiple morbidity/obesity)
- Those with addictions
- Wards with high levels of deprivation
- Domestic Abuse
- Mental Health (including causes of anxiety such as debt management)
The maximum grant available is £20,000, though smaller bids are also welcome.
Please read carefully through the criteria before completing the application form. Applications should be submitted by email where possible. For further information or if you require the information in a different format, please get in touch.
