Barclays is extending its 100x100 Covid-19 Community Relief funding programme for charities.
It has announced that a further 50 donations of £100,000 are being made available to UK charities to support communities impacted by the pandemic.
Charities with an annual income of at least £1m are being invited to apply by Friday 6 August.
Funding will be focused on helping people with physical and mental health issues, providing financial help to those facing hardship, supporting diverse communities and boosting digital accessibility.
The funding programme was announced in April last year. It initially invited charities to apply for one of 100 donations of £100,000 but has extended the programme due to demand. So far it has reached 180 organisations.
Among those supported is Welsh charity Bawso, which supports victims of abuse and exploitation. Its grant from Barclays has been used for PPE, food parcels and medical care.
Another is Bethany Christian Trust, which supports homeless and vulnerable people in Scotland. Barclays’ donation has helped it fund 12,000 emergency packs of food and toiletries as well as children’s activities.

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.
The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
