The Government has published its latest round of business grants data, showing the Government funding delivered to each council in England to support their local businesses.

Since August last year, the Government has provided councils with £7.8 billion for businesses who have needed support the most, through Local Restrictions Support Grants, Christmas Support Payments and Additional Restrictions Grants, targeting those who were required to close or had severe restrictions in place during the pandemic. Local authorities are responsible for administering the various grants, including deciding which businesses and activities to support in their area through the discretionary schemes as well.

• Local Restrictions Support Grant
• Additional Restrictions Support Grant
• Local Authority Discretionary Grant Fund: total payments to businesses by council / region
• Small Business Grants Fund (SBGF) and Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Grants Fund (RHLGF): total payments to businesses by council / region

CTG has expressed concerns that charity shops are being denied lockdown grants due to the unnecessary application of EU rules.
