Give financial support to the Events Industry

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The events industry was shut down in March and has had no support.

We are not the same as pubs and restaurants and its not just venues that need help.

Staffing agencies
Event planners
Caterers
Marquee hire
Stage builders

And many many more people and businesses make events happen.
You cannot ban us from working for another 6 months and not help us.

We need financial support or this industry will be gone forever.
