East Renfrewshire Covid recovery cash to help struggling businesses and low-income residents

Covid recovery funding will be used to help struggling businesses and people on low incomes in East Renfrewshire.

Councillors have agreed a three-tiered approach to distributing the area’s share of an £80m recovery pot for councils, provided by the Scottish Government. The final allocation has yet to be confirmed but East Renfrewshire is expecting to receive around £1.5m.

It will be used to support businesses in sectors with lower-paid staff, aiming to reduce the impact of covid, including help to increase fair work practices, such as Real Living Wage accreditation.
