TThe City of London Corporation’s charitable funder, City Bridge Trust (CBT), has pledged £1 million to a new emergency support fund to help London’s community and voluntary organisations affected by the impact of the COVID-19.

The emergency scheme will be available to charities facing immediate financial pressures and uncertainty because of the coronavirus.

A special section of the London.gov.uk website will be created to help link organisations in need of volunteers with individuals wanting to sign up to help.
