Talking about the fund, Victoria Wilson, Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture at Staffordshire County Council said:

"Our Covid-19 Support and Recovery Fund saw a total of £4500 allocated to each County Councillor, to invest in projects that support local communities and the groups that provide the support.

"We're really pleased with the success of the fund and how the relatively small amounts of funding have made such a difference to groups and within local communities.

"The voluntary sector have a vital role to play in helping make Staffordshire a great place to live and it's important we do what we can to support them.

"Local county councillors know their communities best and because of this, we've seen some really great projects funded, which have made a real difference.

"Our new fund for 2021/22, which is slightly different to last year's is also available and I would encourage people to talk to their local county councillor."

The new 2021 Community Fund, which is now open for applications, is all about supporting groups to think about their future offer, how they will fundraise and how they will return to ideas which they were going to pursue before the pandemic began. Further details are available at the county council's website.
