New Government support

As you may have heard, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced unprecedented support for businesses. This includes grants, loans and a wage guarantee for every employer – keep your staff on, and the Government will guarantee their wages at a rate of 80% (up to £2,500 per month).

There is additional support for the self-employed and charities too.  You can read the Chancellor’s speech HERE.

One simple portal
All the Government advice – on social distancing, how to self-isolate, all support for business – is now available in one place.

Please look here first – I am inundated with emails asking understandable questions.  The vast majority of people will be able to find the answers they are seeking right away by looking at this new portal HERE.

Shopping
Supermarkets are working hard and hiring extra staff.  Please only shop if you need to and only buy what you need – I am being contacted by NHS frontline staff who are ending their shifts and finding bare shelves.  PLEASE think of these people and stay home if you can.

Best wishes
