A total of 34 recovery grants have been awarded to flood-affected residents in Tenbury Wells.
The support is being provided by Tenbury Wells Community Flood Support, an organisation set up to aid households and businesses after the town was hit by severe flooding.
The group was formed to offer practical help, funding, and information to those most affected, aiming to support flood recovery, build resilience, and develop interventions for future events.
A spokesperson for the group said £8,699.85 had now been handed directly to local households affected by flooding.
"These grants have helped residents with a range of needs as they continued their recovery journey," they said.
Tenbury Wells has suffered from terrible flooding in 2019, 2020, 2023 and, arguably the worst in 2024.
Although time has passed since the most recent floodwaters receded, the organisation emphasised that recovery is an ongoing process for many in the community.
"We know that for many residents and businesses the impact is still being felt," they added.
"Recovery is often a much longer process than many people realise."
The group currently has funds available for three additional grants of up to £250 each and encouraged anyone still in need to reach out.
In the aftermath of the most recent floods, volunteers and trustees have worked hard to direct support, secure funding, and provide up-to-date information to those in need.
Tenbury Wells Community Flood Support also took the opportunity to thank the wider community.
The spokesman said: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported the fund along the way – from those who donated and fundraised, to those who volunteered their time, attended meetings, shared information, checked on neighbours or simply offered a helping hand when it was needed most.
"The flooding affected our whole community in different ways, but throughout it all, we have witnessed remarkable resilience, kindness and determination.
"That community spirit remains one of the positives to emerge from such a challenging time.
"Thank you for continuing to support one another and our town."
