Helen Wilkinson, DVSC’s Chief Executive commenting on the award winners said:
“These Denbighshire Change Makers come from a broad spectrum of the local community, stepping up to support people or provide creative solutions to pressing need during the #COVID19 public health emergency. As we enter a new phase in the #COVID19 pandemic and adapt to the new normal, I am delighted to celebrate these change makers as we launch a second round of funding to support the #COVID19 Volunteer Community Response in Denbighshire”.
#COVID19 Voluntary Services Emergency Fund
The new round of funding for #COVID19, the Voluntary Services Emergency Fund, has been enabled by Welsh Government with £25,000 ready to distribute to support voluntary community action in Denbighshire! Voluntary and community groups, not for profit organisations and registered charities can apply for up to £2000. The fund offers support to voluntary sector organisations and community groups. Its purpose is to enable those providing vital support to people in isolation, the elderly, carers, people struggling to access food etc.
“This new grant round follows a highly successful community grants round launched on April 1st which has catalysed and enabled local voluntary and community action and supported entrepreneurial initiative”, said Helen Wilkinson, Chief Executive of DVSC. “This new fund will enable voluntary groups, not for profit organisations and registered charities to apply for up to £2000 and we are operating a rapid grant decision-making process with applications being considered on a rolling basis until funds are disbursed. Denbighshire voluntary groups and organisations are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure their initiative or project receives funding!”
Projects must meet one of three funding criteria outlined by Welsh Government:
Maintain or increase activities that support the vulnerable during the #COVID19 pandemic
Ensure third/voluntary sector organisations have the resources needed to deliver vital services for their communities e.g. volunteer expenses
Encourage stringent health and safety protocols for volunteer activities to safeguard volunteers, beneficiaries, and voluntary sector staff, volunteers and beneficiaries, e.g. the purchase of PPE, hand sanitiser
