The Omicron Grant Schemes are now closed to new applications.
This includes both the Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant and the Additional Restrictions (ARG) discretionary grant.
If you have applied, your case will be assessed and any payment due will be made before 31 March 2022 in line with government guidance.
Through these two business support schemes, Nottingham City Council has paid out over £3m to over 800 businesses in the sectors most impacted by Omicron and the Plan B restrictions.
Whilst restrictions and guidance on Covid are relaxed and reduced, we recognise that many business across a variety of sectors still face challenges.
