The Flooding Hardship Scheme is financed by the Department for the Economy and administered by District Councils.
|
The purpose of the schemes is to provide support to businesses, and some other non-domestic premises, that were affected by the flooding at the end of October/early November 2023, but were not eligible for the previous £7,500 payment or the Enhanced Flood Support Scheme (EFSS).
If you have reviewed the guidance notes below and believe you may be eligible for the scheme, you should complete an application form and indicate whether you are applying for £5,000 Hardship Scheme or £2,500 Hardship scheme. Applicants will need to submit evidence to demonstrate that the business meets the eligibility criteria for the hardship grant. This will all be through the online portal SmartSimple | Newry, Mourne & Down District Council. (smartsimpleuk.com). Please register your business and complete the organisation profile on the portal then you will gain access to the application
Applications open on Wednesday 13 March 2024 at 12noon and will close on Friday 29 March 2024 at 12 noon.
