**Brighton & Hove City Council** (BHCC) has announced businesses can still apply for grants covering the second lockdown between **November 5** and **December 1** and eligible pubs and bars for **Christmas Support Payments**.

Following government changes made at the end of last week, applications for Christmas Support Payments have been extended to **February 28**, so If you haven’t made a claim yet don’t delay. Applications take around 30 minutes through[ the online form](https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/how-apply-covid-19-business-support-grant/christmas-support-payments?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

There is no closing date for the other government business grants which are available for the November lockdown, the tier 2 December restrictions that followed, and further payments if restrictions continue.

Businesses only need to make one application for the main business grants – BHCC will work out all your grants entitlements from November 1 onwards.

Some businesses that were not eligible for earlier grants may now be able to get a payment from the current lockdown. For example, businesses that were rejected for earlier grants because they were not forced to close, may be able to claim for the current lockdown.
