New funding available for community radio stations
Community radio stations are being given a third chance to apply for a share of £200,000 emergency funding to help them through the Covid-19 crisis.
Ofcom administered two rounds of funding earlier this year with grants that provided 111 successful applicants totaling £406,810. These grants were awarded by the Community Radio Fund Panel, independent to Ofcom.
Applications are now open for grants of up to £7,500 only.
Applicants that have already received funding from any of the £750million Covid-19 Charities Package, including through other government departments, the Community Match Challenge, the Covid-19 Community Support Fund or the Big Night In, will not be eligible to receive this funding.
