Dozens of charities in the north-east are to share £368,000 from a coronavirus pandemic hardship fund.
The cash comes from the Fairer Aberdeen project, which will be awarded to 47 local charities and community organisations.
Applications for a maximum of £15,000 had to be submitted to the Aberdeen City Council fund by January this year.
