Hi everyone,
I've just published a major update to our article about available support during the coronavirus pandemic - lupusuk.org.uk/coronavirus-...
This article was originally published on 25th March 2020 and a LOT has changed since then.
I hope that you will find the information helpful.
If you are aware of any additional support which is not currently included, please let me know so that we can add it.
Thanks Paul. Best wishes Kevin
Great work Paul, sterling!
There are various benevolent funds for people who have worked in certain sectors (here are a couple of examples: foryoubyyou.org.uk/ rcn.org.uk/get-help/member-... or indeed for gentlewomen in distress - and I think many of us would qualify under that banner 
- so I'd encourage folks to Google benevolent funds and see what turns up that might be applicable...some offer immediate help, some offer longer-term support but it's definitely worth checking out!

Hi eekt
That's a great tip. I'll add something to the article about this later.
Thank you.
Happy to help!
Another thought - there's the New Enterprise Allowance for folks on certain benefits to help start a business, not nearly as generous as Thatcher's version (which was £40 a week for a year, if I remember rightly - lots of musicians started their careers on it!)

We've seen the wonderful array of talent here on the forum, maybe some might want to go commercial?
