Further funding has been announced by Doncaster Council. The grant is to support home-working, mobile and self-employed businesses in Doncaster that have lost trade due to the pandemic and have been ineligible for other schemes.
The grant will see eligible businesses receive a one-off payment of £1,000 from the council’s Discretionary Grant Scheme.
Doncaster council said: “Applications will be considered from local, independent businesses forced to close due to lockdown restrictions as well as those that have been able to open but are struggling because of a fall in trade.
“Applying for the grant is straightforward and we urge small businesses to check the eligibility criteria and if eligible, get their applications in to the council as soon as possible so we can process them quickly and deliver the support needed.”
Further details of the grant, as well as other local authority grants, are available here.

On 5th January 2021, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a further £4.6 billion in business support grants for businesses forced to close due to the latest lockdown.
This follows the Prime Minister’s recent announcement of a third national lockdown, that these business will be closed until at least February half-term in order to help control the virus, and, together with the wide range of existing support, provides them with certainty through the Spring period.
The cash is provided on a per-property basis to support businesses through the latest restrictions, and is expected to benefit over 600,000 business properties, worth £4 billion in total across all nations of the UK.
The one-off grants are available as follows:
The grants are available for businesses legally required to close.
The business support grants will be administered through local authorities, which (for our client base) is predominantly DMBC. Further information, when available, will be available from here.
