Village halls, scout or guide huts and church halls were among later additions to grant aid – and these are still being submitted. Applicants have until March 19 to apply for them.
Ms Brooks says that since the formation of a Covid-19 recovery group, a successful bid for £330,000 of funding had been made to the countywide outbreak management fund and the winter payments fund.
“All of the funding supports additional services or resources to help residents,” she says.
Ms Brooks says regular contact has been made with community groups and parish councils throughout the pandemic to offer support.
“Many of these groups have formed the community outreach groups or ‘hubs’ that make up the East Cambs Co-ordination Hub,” she says.

People aged 60 and over are being asked to share their views on how Covid-19 has affected them to find out what support they need following changes in restrictions.
East Cambridgeshire District Council s survey follows a review of coronavirus statistics for the district, which shows a disproportionate amount of positive cases among the over 60s population.
The survey, which is being led by the East Cambs Co-ordination Hub, is now open and will run until March 14.
