The Culture Secretary has announced that £150 million will be taken from dormant bank and building society accounts to help support the UK’s charities and social enterprises whose work has been affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
Bank and building society accounts that have not been touched for 15 years will see their money ‘unlocked’ to help charities, social enterprises and vulnerable individuals during the coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis.
