ESF funding rounds are opening in London and Greater Manchester.

The London Programme will continue to support people with complex needs to gain skills and find (or remain in) work, education or training. These are Londoners who already face disadvantage, and who are likely to be further disadvantaged by the impact of COVID-19. 

BASE has set up regional Linkedin forums for members to keep in touch and support each other. The forums are for staff of member orgaisations and can be accessed though the following links:

A new ‘support finder’ tool will help businesses and self-employed people across the UK to quickly and easily determine what financial support is available to them during the coronavirus pandemic. Coronavirus (COVID-19) support is available to employers and the self-employed. You may be eligible for loans, tax relief and cash grants.

The finder tool on GOV.UK will ask business owners to fill out a simple online questionnaire, which can take minutes to complete, and they will then be directed to a list of all the financial support they may be eligible for.

Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) has put together a website for enterprises dealing with the impact of coronavirus. The website contains the latest resources, advice and support services, including webinars from leading voices within the sector.

They have a series of webinars this week. These are all free to sign-up too and the recordings will be available on this site. Each webinar is an hour long with plenty of time to ask questions.
