Issue details
At the onset of the covid-19 pandemic local
people were really engaged in participating in a community
response. Many organised themselves into groups or partnered with
established groups to provide assistance and support to their
neighbours. In the absence of community boards being established a
Councillor Crisis fund was initiated, utilising £250K of
public health money allocated to the community boards, with a
further £50k received from the Rothschild. The funding had to
be issued quickly. It is helpful to review the distribution and
effectiveness of this funding.
