A £100,000 appeal has been launched to help small charities in North Yorkshire survive the winter.
Two Ridings Community Foundation, which coordinates giving in North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire, is running the Surviving the Covid Winter appeal until January 26.
Donations will fund grants of up to £10,000 to voluntary organisations.
Two Ridings Community Foundation usually runs a winter fuel appeal but has altered its plans this year to help charities struggling on the frontline in the battle against covid.
Not-for-profit groups based in North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire with annual turnover of less than £500,000 will be eligible to apply for grants to use as unrestricted funding.

Jan Garrill, chief executive of the foundation, said:
"There is seemingly no precedent for these times. What I do know is now is the time to give. Whether you are able to donate £10 or £10,000 we urge you to support this campaign.
"In these times, it is important that we look out for one another and stand shoulder to shoulder with people and communities".
