Grants up to £6,000 are available to Kenilworth hospitality businesses affected by the Omicron variant.
Organised by Warwick District Council, the grants are available to pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels and a range of other leisure businesses.
The funding, which has come from central government, is open for applications until February 21.
As this is a new scheme with new eligibility criteria, the council is encouraging businesses falling within the hospitality, leisure and accommodation categories to check the terms and conditions and submit an application as soon as possible.
"This is possibly a final opportunity for hospitality and leisure businesses who were affected by restrictions and fall in custom, particularly over the festive season to receive the support they need to get them back up and running," said Cllr Jan Matecki.
"These are grants, not loans and can be applied for in a safe and secure way.
"Thousands of businesses have already benefitted through the previous schemes the council has administered, with more than £55 million distributed to local organisations."
"I would urge all businesses in this sector to take five minutes to check they're eligible and get their application to us."
Applications will close strictly at 5pm on 21 February 2022, due to the enhanced checks that are needed the council is unable to accept applications after this time.
Full details including the application form can be found online here.
