#WeMakeEvents is on Red Alert to raise awareness of the UK’s 1,000,000 highly skilled industry professionals, all of whom have had no work for the past four months with little likelihood of restarting until Spring 2021.
Our industry includes a huge supply chain ranging from production, audio, lighting, and video, to logistics, planning, transportation, and some of the world’s leading technology manufacturers.
Without additional support for the supply chain, the UK is in danger of losing its global position as a world leader in world-class events. Moreover, all of our incredible creatives and technicians could lose their livelihoods for good.
We are calling for meaningful support from the Government until the industry is allowed to operate in a way that is not limited by social distancing policies including:
1. Grants - not loans - made available to businesses in the events supply chain
2. Furlough scheme extended until the industry is back to work
3. Extension of the self-employment scheme, tailored towards the industry
