Closed petition Increase the 20% self-employed grant for those who cannot return to work

Closed on 7 April 2021

To bring the self-employed income support scheme in line with the furlough scheme for those who cannot return to work due to restrictions such as the continued closures of theatres and music venues.

To protect the livelihoods of thousands of people and their families who cannot survive off 20% of average monthly earnings including my husband and our family. Many of the self-employed such as tradesmen have returned to work and for them, 20% will be a help but again for those in the arts sector who cannot return at this time need much more support please.
