Hello
Do you earn a living in #sport or #creativeindustries?
Is your work affected by #CoronaOutbreak?
Would you be happy to share your concerns with me so I can make a dossier to give to govt who I think don’t understand precarious nature of #selfemployment
Please share.

Hosting the #FutureofCare today. Where would we be with out social care workers? When my parents both had Alzheimer’s, don’t know what I’d have done without these very special people. Care is SO under-valued (and underpaid) in this increasingly pretentious, shallow society...
