Covid-19 Community Recovery Scheme

In addition to the previous Covid-19 Community Support Scheme which was opened to organisations in April 2020, communities across Mid and East Antrim will now be able to access further critical financial support during the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic situation.

The scheme will be available to all constituted groups across the borough, and is in addition to the usual two grants per annum available to community groups along with the previous Covid-19 Community Support Scheme.

The scheme will help community groups in the borough to deliver to their own areas.  Groups will be asked to work in partnership where possible, to ensure a fair and equitable geographical reach and to avoid duplication of effort.

The vital funding package, is among a raft of practical, immediate measures being undertaken by Council as they continue to provide emergency and frontline services to its people, has been set up in response to local needs.

Exclusions

• Groups who are currently in arrears to any Council Grants Support Scheme
• Groups with a live Covid-19 Community Support Scheme application
• Groups who have applied to the Covid-19 Business Revitalisation Scheme

Applicants must adhere to the Governance Standards document and Invoice standards documents available on their page.
