Extend the Self Employed Grant Scheme in line with furlough support.
Extend the self employed grant scheme in line with furlough support for self employed workers unable to return to work after 3 months due to Covid 19.
There are many self employed people in many sectors, including those running children clubs and freelancers in the entertainment industry for example, who cannot start up again and/or go back to work as before due to Covid 19. This has a huge impact on individuals income and it is only fair that the furlough scheme is extended to all of the self employed who cannot return to work after 3 months grant period has finished.
