Grants for Scotland’s Mothballed Nightclubs and Soft Play Centres
Grants for Scotland’s Mothballed Nightclubs and Soft Play Centres
Grants are available for soft play centres and nightclubs in Scotland that have been mandated to close since the first coronavirus lockdown in the spring.
The COVID-19 Contingency Fund is part of a Scottish Government package of more than £40 million to support businesses affected by the latest COVID-19 restrictions. Through the first phase of the scheme, targeted funding has been made available for soft play centres and nightclubs that have been closed by law since March 2020.
One-off grants of up to £50,000 will be available to businesses in both sectors. Grants will be based on rateable value. Those with a rateable value of £18,000 or under can obtain £10,000. Those with a rateable value between £18,001 and £51,000 can obtain £25,000 and those with a rateable value above £51,001 can obtain £50,000.
Businesses operating multiple premises will be eligible to claim one full grant plus grants of up to 75% on subsequent properties.
Local authorities will be contacting businesses directly to get the information needed to progress claims.
