End No Recourse To Public Funds until covid19 is contained
There are hundreds of thousands of British children living with parents who are prohibited from accessing public funds.
As the country grounds to a halt, overwhelming majority of the public may require no assistance from the government. However, there are some who's daily survival may relied upon the government's intervention. Sadly those on NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS are prohibited from benefiting from such assistance currently and may expose such families to a higher risk of being affected by the outbreak and being disadvantaged financially.
