S&CC Coronavirus Response Fund

We’re offering £1 million in grants to organisations across the UK who employ people from disadvantaged or vulnerable groups

What is the S&CC Coronavirus Response Fund?

At Social & Community Capital (S&CC), our mission is to help social enterprises, charities and community businesses. The coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdown has caused a loss of income for these organisations.

Through the S&CC Coronavirus Response Fund, we want to help bridge the gap so organisations survive the crisis and continue to have a positive impact in their communities.
