The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of British small businesses, help support our favourites!

On the 10th June 2020 we'd raised £50 with 1 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Please help me support our favourite local music venues, bars, businesses and the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide us with great places to go!
Did you know that the government help to the self-employed doesn't apply if you're a director of your company and take dividends rather than being classed as an employee taking a wage? This means that the owners of some of our favourite local music venues, bars and businesses will be really struggling to get any income during lockdown.
These business owners have worked their butts off building these amazing venues and now it's our turn to help them. No doubt, they've done everything they can to look after their staff and suppliers during this difficult time but who is looking after them? I imagine they're also too proud to ask for help so let's take that decision out of their hands and raise some money for the people who have given us so many amazing experiences and memories over the years! Its pay back time!!!!
Please let us know your favourite local North East proprietors and venues that you think would benefit from this project by commenting alongside your donation.
I will add hashtags on this post to see who has been mentioned so far.
Please share far and wide. Thank you in advance x
