â–¶https://www.bristol.gov.uk/business-support-advice/covid-19-discretionary-grant

  • Grants of up to ÂŁ5,000
  • Deadline midnight Sunday 12th July

Nurseries are eligible to apply to Bristol City Council for these grants, even if they are in receipt of FEEE.

The eligibility is for any business (charity, Ltd co., unincorporated) not just nurseries, which have closed (temporarily) because of Covid and have premises costs i.e. they have to pay rent and/or have a rateable value.

Premises can include shared premises (e.g. a church hall). The business can be in receipt of the Job Retention Scheme money (furlough scheme) and rebates for business rates. They are still eligible to apply. The main criteria is that they normally have premises costs as described above.
