Funding available for groups, charities and businesses affected by the COVID-19 virus is now becoming clearer, as a number of funds launch over the next few weeks.

CVS Inverclyde and Compassionate Inverclyde are joining forces and working with the local COVID-19 community groups to signpost into a new Inverclyde prescription service for local residents needing support during the pandemic.

...to support small local groups through Coronavirus pandemic

Inverclyde Community Fund (ICF) is celebrating its relaunch after the fund made a number of announcements, including the appointment of three new trustees, a new website - www.inverclydecommunityfund.org - and a widening of the fund to support local organisations affected by the COVID-19 virus.

Applications are now open for the Third Sector Resilience Fund (TSRF), a £20 million emergency fund for third sector organisations in Scotland. It is part of a £350m support package for the sector in Scotland in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The fund will support organisations across the third sector who are at risk of closure due to a sharp decrease in income, or that are unable to deliver their services during this difficult period.
