Several local voluntary sector organisations delivering vital services to support residents during the Covid-19 pandemic have been awarded funding - totalling almost £22,000 - from the Adur Community Grant.
Each year, Adur District Council awards funding to not-for-profit organisations working for the benefit of Adur. This year, funding has been prioritised for groups whose work supports residents affected by Coronavirus.
Recipients of the award include groups providing bereavement and counselling services, support for victims of domestic abuse and those experiencing isolation and mental health issues, and essential transport and delivery services for local residents.
Councillor David Simmons, the Council's Executive Member for Health & Wellbeing, said:
“After carefully considering which members of our community have been most adversely affected by Covid-19, we have awarded funding to a number of groups that are supporting families in crisis and vulnerable residents, to enable them to continue their vital work at this challenging time.”
