Financial Viability - City Recovery COVID-19 Grant Fund

On 11th March 2021 the City Court of Common Council agreed to create a grant fund for City SME Businesses that have been impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The scheme is designed to support businesses which contribute to the City's vibrancy at street level and directly provide services to returning City workers, visitors, and residents. The necessary infrastructure for a successful City has been affected by enforced closure or low footfall and this scheme will seek to support those businesses that can evidence, through the grant application process, a likelihood that with support they have a reasonable chance to survive beyond the short term.
