Beyond Covid emergency response: planning for funding in 2021
Funding throughout 2020/21 has focused on emergency Covid-19 response. This has been welcomed and much needed. However, many organisations are now looking for longer-term funding opportunities to ensure they can continue operating for the sake of their users when the emergency funding ends. This is due to be exacerbated as local councils who have invested in the VCSE sector are forced to make unavoidable cuts.
