[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You may recall The Society of Sports Therapists was part of a group of 9 organisations that wrote to the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, regarding help for SMEs and the Self-Employed in order to deal with the financial challenges caused by COVID-19.
The Society has now collaborated with 16 professional organisations representing 300,000 members in sending a second letter to the Chancellor, expressing concerns on how some small businesses and the self -employed continue to be overlooked with the current financial support packages that have been introduced. As with all of these organisations many of our Members are directly affected, which is why it is so important for The Society of Sports Therapists to be part of this collaboration.
Three requests have been made:
1. Change Access to Coronavirus Job Retention and Coronavirus Self-Employed Income Support Schemes
2. Expediate Coronavirus Income Support Scheme Funds
3. Ensure more SMEs are benefiting from Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans (CBILs)
