UK Government to offer economic assistance to the events industry like Scotland
We need the UK government to provide economic assistance to events related businesses who are suffering unforeseen financial challenges due to ongoing suspension of this industry. Which will have a profound effect on hundreds of thousands of people employed in the sector.
The Scottish government announced on the 26th July 2020 a £10 million fund to support the events sector.
We want the UK government to follow Scotland and offer a support package the to UK events industry otherwise the this industry which is worth more than £14 billion to the economy, will be lost with 25,000 businesses supporting over 500,000 employees—all of whom are worried that with no confirmed reopening date for events how they will pay there staff after the furlough scheme ends.
