Paws In The Park

A mate of mine has just posted this and it's actually very relevant to me and some of my friends right now 💕

If you’ll continue to receive a regular wage from an employer throughout this difficult time then please consider continuing to pay the self-employed people whose services you usually rely on - they will receive so little. If you have a cleaner, gardener, regular baby club, child-minder, personal trainer, dog-walker etc. who you’ll no longer require services from right now then please consider continuing to pay them if you can, because when all of this gets better you’ll need them to still be in business. It costs money to run a business and that never stops even when the clients stop paying.

Another great suggestion I’ve seen is that buying gift cards for your favourite cafes, restaurants, hairdressers, beauticians etc to use at a later date might be the difference between them going under or being able to get back on their feet after all of this.

Behind every small business is a person and often an entire family.
