Discretionary Grant Funds (DGF) Scheme One to cover up to 100% of their
fixed property costs for Quarter 1 FY 2021/22 will receive a further one-off

19th July. This will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. This will support 630
businesses at an approximate cost of £800,000
• Nightclubs will be awarded a one-off grant payment to cover the additional
