We wanted to let you know that BEIS Secretary Alok Sharma sent the attached letter to local authority chief execs late last week, stating that the three grant schemes will be closed on 28th August. Any unspent funds will have to be returned to BEIS.
We’ve done a quick calculation of the latest figures for the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Fund and Small Business Grant Fund:
