The Government has made available an unprecedented £750 million package of support, specifically for charities, social enterprises and the voluntary sector. This will ensure charities and other civil society organisations, including those at risk of financial hardship, can continue their vital work during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Of the £750m, £200 million of this money is being distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) through the Coronavirus Community Support Fund (CCSF). As of 13th September 2020, £116,162,678 million has been awarded to organisations through this Fund, which is being disbursed to them in accordance with the payment profiles set out in the onward grant agreements. Of this amount, £58,332,938 has been allocated to medium sized organisations and £25,795,260 to small organisations.
The eligibility criteria used by NLCF to assess CCSF funding applications can be found on the NLCF’s website: https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/funding/programmes/covid-19-funding-over-10k#section-2. A list of all organisations that have been awarded funding from the CCSF will be published once the allocation process is complete.
£85 million has been allocated to the ‘Community Match Challenge’ which is matching funds raised by philanthropists, foundations and grant making organisations to further support small to medium sized organisations from across the country working with those who are most vulnerable and have been hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak. This Fund closed for bids on 2nd August and the outcome will be announced shortly.
A further £4.8 million will be distributed to the Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership - a group that comes together to improve national and local coordination before, during and after emergencies - to help strengthen the voluntary sector’s response to coronavirus and future emergencies.
To support the BBC’s 'Big Night In' (BNI), the Government matched the generous donations of the public across the country with a grant for £20 million to the National Emergencies Trust (NET) which is working in Partnership with the UK Community Foundations and a further £17 million which was shared between Comic Relief (CR) and Children in Need (CiN). As of 11 September, £16,641,702.24 has been allocated by all three funds with awards disbursed to charities through the usual process. The eligibility criteria used to assess applications for BNI funding can be found here for the NET element of the funding: https://www.ukcommunityfoundations.org/our-programmes and here for CR and CiN funding: https://www.comicrelief.com/funding

That this House regrets the decision of the charity Comic Relief to refuse funding to Newcastle Jellicoe sea cadets on the grounds that they were not a minority group or an unpopular cause; notes the statement by Comic Relief that `We are particularly keen to fund projects which benefit black and minority ethnic people, women, lesbians and gay men'; believes that many people who have raised money for Comic Relief will have been unaware of this policy and will be concerned about the effect of its implementation; further notes that the application from Newcastle Jellicoe headquarters keeps 75 youngsters off the streets in an area which has one of the worst unemployment and crime rates in the North-East; recognises that a grant would have helped stop the closure of their vandal-hit headquarters; believes that such allocations should be made on the basis of need alone; acknowledges that Comic Relief has an exceptional record of raising monies; does not wish to see this record damaged; and to this end calls upon Comic Relief to review its decision to Newcastle Jellicoe in particular and its overall policy in general.
