Grenfell Recovery Fund

In January 2019, the Leadership Team committed £50m of revenue funding to support the delivery of the Grenfell Recovery Strategy. The £50m agreed for recovery services covers the five-year period, from 2019/20 to 2023/24.

The breakdown below shows how the money has been allocated over this period: 

• 2019/20 - £12m
• 2020/21 - £12m
• 2021/22 - £10m
• 2022/23 - £8m
• 2023/24 - £8m
• Total £50m

£12m is committed to fund recovery services for bereaved and survivors and the wider community in 2020/21.

The budget for services for bereaved and survivors includes funding for:

• The Dedicated Service, which provides wraparound, personalised support for bereaved and survivors.
• Housing support, including a dedicated Housing team to support those who have not yet moved into permanent accommodation and housing management services for those who are in their new homes.
• Accommodation costs for those who remain in temporary and emergency accommodation.
• Support for delivering this activity, including complaints and monitoring.

The budget for the local community includes funding for:

• Ongoing emotional support and other commissioned services in schools and community-based settings and employment and skills support.
• Direct support to families and individuals affected by Grenfell from the wider community through the Malton Road hub.
• A community programme to support community-led recovery, including funding for The Curve Community Centre, the Grenfell Projects Fund and Community Leadership Programme and wider community engagement with the local community.
• Housing support and accommodation for Wider Grenfell households who are in temporary accommodation.
• Support for delivering this activity, including complaints and monitoring.

The budget also includes the costs of a small core team to oversee the programme.

We continue to work with bereaved and survivors and the wider community on longer-term plans to ensure the sustainability of services in the long term.
