Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has provided financial or material assistance to the Kids on the Green community group for the children affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

My Department provided £1.1 million to the Community Core Costs Fund. This was set up to fund organisations providing immediate community support following the Grenfell Tower fire and was managed by London Funders. Kids on the Green were successful in their application. They received £10,000 to go towards the running costs for a play-based group operating from a local green space and the provision of targeted therapist support.
