Jan Torrance from Foundation Scotland says help is still there to those who need it:　
An appeal was launched in January as a response to the unprecedented rainfall caused by Storms Desmond, Eve and Frank.
A deadline of Friday 27th May has been put in place by Foundation Scotland, for people to apply for a grant to help those worst affected and repair damage.
Giles Ruck, CEO of Foundation Scotland, said: "As the only community foundation in Scotland we took the decision that we had a key role to play in supporting communities most affected by the flooding.
"I would like to thank everyone who has donated and helped raise this magnificent sum, which has gone a long way to relieving the financial hardship and distress for the many individuals and community organisations severely affected by the flooding.
"Our team has ensured the money has reached those most in need distributing 296 grants to households and community groups to-date."
Details of how to apply and more information on what the appeal will fund can be found on Foundation Scotland website at
