The Government is providing grant support to hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses that are required to close, as well as discretionary grant funding to support those businesses that are severely impacted but not required to close.

It is for Local Authorities to administer these schemes and determine on a case-by-case basis who is and is not entitled to funding. Coach companies that believe they may be eligible should contact their Local Authority.
