With thanks to Players of People’s Postcode Lottery, groups can apply for grant funding of up to £2,500 if they:

This may include, but is not limited to, volunteer and fuel costs for grocery and prescription delivery from rural community shops, pubs, and hubs; costs associated with emergency support by farm and agricultural support groups; or rural foodbanks and food delivery services.
