Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant

The Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant provides local councils with one-off grant funding to support hospitality, leisure and accommodation businesses, in recognition that the rise of the Omicron variant means that some businesses are likely to struggle.

Could you be eligible? 

Eligible businesses are those offering in-person services in the hospitality, leisure and accommodation sectors.

What grant could you receive? 

This depends upon the rateable value of the eligible business:

• Rateable value of £51,000 or more = £6,000 payment
• Rateable value of £15,000 and less than £51,000 = £4,000 payment
• Rateable value £15,000 or less = £2,667 payment
