Community Response Fund

The Community Response Fund is a short-term, time limited response to address immediate cost and demand pressures the economic downturn is placing on key community-based critical social services for families, children, young and older people. 

Community organisations can apply for the Community Response Fund when they are in severe financial difficulty or are experiencing an increased demand for their services as a result of the economic downturn.
