WHY WE ARE HERE AGAIN; TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE: 

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.

Creative Demonstration details

On 29th September we will be holding the We Make Events ‘Stand As One’ creative demonstration outside Parliament. The demo is a open to all event industry freelancers, full time employees & business owners affected by the shutdown of events due to Covid 19. We are asking the government for financial support for all 3 of these groups.

Please join us for a socially distanced, safe, organised showing of the people of our industry to Parliament.

We will gather in Parliament Square & stand still & quiet for 30 minutes.
