Government Restart Grants Open for Local Business Applications Businesses affected by the post-Christmas national lockdown can now apply via our website for the Government’s Restart Grants.
The Restart Grants funding scheme was announced by Government on Wednesday 3 March 2021 and is designed to support businesses (including non-essential retail, leisure, personal care, sports facilities and hospitality businesses) that are predominantly reliant on delivering in-person services for the general public. Grants of up to £6,000 will be paid to non-essential retail business premises to help them to reopen safely. In addition, grants of up to £18,000 will be allocated to hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gym business premises, which may open but will be more impacted by restrictions when they do reopen.
To receive the Restart Grant, businesses need to complete an online application. Details on the Restart Grants and how to apply can be found on our website: Restart Grants - South Cambs District Council (scambs.gov.uk). The application closure date for the Restart Grant funding scheme is Wednesday 30 June 2021.
