Extend the Self Employment Grant scheme beyond June.
Self Employment Support Scheme only covers 3 months & that support will finish support within the next week. This will leave many self employed in a very vulnerable situation. These are proud & hardworking people who should be protected to the level of the employed during these unprecedented time.
We would like the self employment Income support grant to be extended as the government has already done for the employed.
This will stop many families falling into hardship & give an increased bounce back to the economy that the government speaks about.
Please support & show that you value the self employed in the United kingdom by extending the self employment Income support scheme.
