Control Outbreak Management Fund [COMF]
About the fund
2020
The Control Outbreak Management Fund (COMF) was originally set up in 2020 to help businesses and organisations repond to the pandemic.
2021
The fund evolved to offer support to businesses ‘reopening safely’ and most recently to Suffolk Growth’s ‘Living with Covid’ Town Centre Grants.
2022
The ‘Living with COVID’ grant programme is investing £65,000 in 10 Suffolk town centre projects. Funding will support good practice and help enable the transition of communities and business to live with COVID within town centres.
Projects range from enabling more outdoor activity and space for socialising, outdoor events and festivals, & opportunities for active travel within town centres.
