Rejected petition Reinstatement of the Retail, hospitality and Leisure & small business grants.

The Government need to act and offer a lifeline to the Retail, hospitality and leisure sector and also small businesses by means of reintroducing the associated grants given at the beginning of the pandemic.

More details

Thousands of businesses within the retail, hospitality and leisure sector including the events industry are now close to collapse as a consequence of the subsequent local and national measures that continue to prevent trade. If the reinststement of grants are not reintroduced within weeks, tens of thousands of families will be affected by the prospect of mass redundancy. We desperately need the Government and Treasury to protect these sectors and offer a financial lifeline. Please support us.
