Funding to Help People Self-Isolating Under Covid-19 Restrictions for Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton areas.

Community and voluntary organisations can apply for grants of up to £5,000 to help fund voluntary and community activity which helps and supports people self-isolating under COVID-19 restrictions in Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton.

The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner has made £200,000 available over the next six months from money which has been allocated from items seized from criminals under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Funding from this second round of their Community Initiatives Fund will help organisations responding and organising in new ways to connect with each other within their communities. This includes online, providing practical and spiritual support, and using local supply chains.

The deadline for applications is the 3rd August 2020.
