£360 million will be allocated by the Government directly to charities providing essential services and supporting vulnerable people. Up to £200 million will be allocated to hospices across the next quarter, and £76 million has been allocated for victims of domestic and sexual abuse and vulnerable children. Further allocations will follow shortly. £310 million will be allocated in England through the National Lottery Community Fund, with £60m allocated through the Barnett formula so the devolved administrations are funded to provide similar support in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The application process will be open to charities in the coming weeks.
