As local restrictions and guidance is changing, many charities and community groups are starting to think about how they continue their services to provide help and support to those in need across County Durham through the new normal.
It is our aim to support organisations with funding advice throughout this crisis and we will be working hard to ensure we promote all funding opportunities as they arise through our website, news bulletins and through the continued operation of our dedicated Information, Advice and Guidance service offer.
We have produced this guide to provide you with a short introduction to resilience and sustainability funds; helping you to choose which funds best meet your needs and the needs of those you are supporting.
We will endeavour to keep the information in this guide as accurate as possible and respond to updates from funders as quickly as possible.
You can also download a COVID-19 Emergency Funding Update from Durham County Council - download the latest list here (updated 19/04/21)
You can also access funding searches to look for available grants:
Durham County Council manage a funding portal called Durham4Community for community groups which you can sign up to for free. It allows you to search for funding schemes available to your group, apply for funding and get advice on producing your funding application.
NCVO have made freely available information on what you need to do to manage the potential impacts of coronavirus on your charity's or voluntary organisation's operations and finances, including information on what to expect from funders.
Good Finance have a wide range of information on grants and social investment funds and updates and articles supporting charities and social enterprises with financial resilience.
It is our aim to support organisations with funding advice throughout this crisis and we will be working hard to ensure we promote all funding opportunities as they arise through our website, news bulletins and through the continued operation of our dedicated Information, Advice and Guidance service offer.
If you have any queries or require any support with funding applications, please do not hesitate to get in touch by email and your enquiry will be directed to a member of our Community Support Team.
