Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether additional funding will be made available to the voluntary and community sector to help them support communities more effectively during the covid-19 outbreak.

Last week the Minister for Civil Society held a roundtable discussion with over 45 charities to understand their concerns about covid-19. We are working with colleagues across government to shape support available to mitigate risks in the coming weeks and months and deliver effectively for communities.
