Wales Intermediary funder (360G-CR-4107381b)

COVID19 - Emergency Response - This emergency funding will contribute towards the Voluntary Services Emergency Response Fund supporting communities across Wales with their response to and the impact of Coronavirus. This emergency funding will be distributed to groups through the existing grant giving mechanisms at a county level. Grants are currently enabling the voluntary sector in Wales to expand and adapt their services and activity during the COVID_19 pandemic. For example, food distribution to vulnerable people, increased counselling services for those that are struggling with poor mental health, befriending services adapting to online working, adapting and increasing domestic violence/women’s aid services, sharing knowledge and information with BME communities. TSSW will utilise this funding to help meet the demand they are currently dealing with. As the situation progresses, WCVA will consider how they move from crisis response to recovery funding.
