Andrew has been informed that small and micro businesses and charities across the East Riding who have not qualified for funding so far during the COVID-19 pandemic have been given more time to apply for grants of up to £25,000.

The government has made available £4million to the East Riding for grants of either £25,000, £10,000 or up to £10,000."
