The Covid Relief fund is backed with funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Pears Foundation and Paul Hamlyn Foundation as part of the government’s £750m charities package.

Grants are available to organisations that have lost funding, face the threat of closure, or have had to reduce delivery or services supporting young people during the pandemic.

Organisations which are successful in securing grants of up to £50,000 can use the funds to cover staff salaries, project running costs, organisational development and goods and equipment which supports delivery, UK Youth said.
