SOMERSET Community Foundation has so far awarded grants to more than 350 households as they cope after the floods.
In total, £520,000 worth of grants have been issued to households, microbusinesses and community groups.
With all the donations so far, the Fund total is £1.2million.
A spokesman said: “This is a magnificent response, which means we can respond to the short-term need as well as plan properly to help rebuild lives over the next two to three years.”
