Context
The question addresses the financial support given to charities during the pandemic.
What fiscal steps is the government taking to support the charity sector during the covid-19 outbreak? I thank the Minister for that answer and for the support that enabled charities to develop new ways of working during lockdown. Will the Minister outline how this Government's support has helped my constituents in Stoke-on-Trent Central?
My hon. Friend is right to highlight the extraordinary innovations of charities in Stoke-on-Trent and across the country. We have seen innovation and adaptation right across the economy, made possible in part by the unprecedented level of support that we have been referring to during this session. As of the end of last week, £230 million had been disbursed from the Government's charity support fund.
