Financial help during covid19 when shielding

[Stacy2310]

Does anyone know of any financial help that is around for people who aren’t working with this covid19? My partner can’t work as I’m shielding but he is self employed. We aren’t eligible for the 80% government allowance so we are getting minimal help which won’t cover all our outgoings. I’m petrified we are going to get into real financial difficulties. Thank you

Your local council will have a one point contact number offering support.

Hi Stacy2310 ,

We have an article on our website about some financial support that is available from various sources - lupusuk.org.uk/coronavirus-...

As others have also mentioned, we're also operating an Emergency Assistance Fund providing small cash grants for those in need. You can learn more and apply at lupusuk.org.uk/covid19-assi...

I’ve found my local council have been very helpful indeed. Also if you are shielding sign up for help (food etc) but I also had a call asking if I needed financial help. too. Good luck and stay safe xx
