Small businesses in Bristol have until midnight on Sunday 19 July to apply for a small business discretionary grant.

The fund provides grants of up to £5,000 and is open to charities that claim charitable business rates relief; you can check if your organisation is eligible on the council website. 

The council has warned against leaving applications to the last minute, saying that it strongly encourages businesses to review the application form as soon as possible to ensure they can submit evidence of how a grant would support them within the deadline.
