A COMMUNITY recovery grant has been launched by Dorset Council to help communities that were paused during the pandemic get up and running again.

The Dorset Community Recovery Grants are small funds to help make a difference to communities within the council’s area.

The fund available to organisations include a small one-off grant between £500 - £2,000, which enable community venues, organisations and groups.

These are groups working at a local community level, aimed at helping to restart activities that have been suspended over the past year due to the pandemic.

The organisation’s annual income should be less than £100,000.

Applications for the funding closes on July 25.
