CCLORS was £9.5 million funding which will be used to support community organisations in England that are facing financial difficulties caused by COVID-19, with an emphasis on supporting Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic led businesses.

Ubele has been working with Power to Change, Locality, and Social Investment Business, in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund, to build COVID-19 Community Led Organisations Recovery Scheme (CCLORS).

CCLORS offered much needed emergency funding and organisational support to community based organisations including those which are Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic led and/or are working to support local Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities.

The £9.5 million funding was distributed to 302 community-led organisations. 60% are Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic led or Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic supporting organisations. Our team of associates delivered 1:1 support to 13 grantees.
