Funding to improve ventilation and reduce the spread of COVID-19
The Scottish Government’s Business Ventilation Fund will help organisations improve ventilation and air quality on their premises to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Organisations can claim up to £2,500 per eligible premises to recover the costs of carrying out work to improve ventilation and air quality. This could include:
- installing of carbon dioxide monitors
- repairs to windows and vents
To be eligible for funding, organisations must:
- be a small or medium-sized enterprise
- be in an eligible sector
- have physical premises
- pay non-domestic rates
Support will initially target high-risk settings where people come into close contact, such as restaurants, bars and gyms. Social enterprises, Trusts, Partnerships, Community Interest Companies or Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations may apply for funding provided they meet all other eligibility criteria.
Applications will open at 3pm on 23 November 2021 and close on 31 March 2022, or when funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. To apply, visit the FindBusiness Support website.
