answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2020 answer text <p>I am aware of the strain that many charities are under during this time of financial uncertainty and increased demand on their services. On 8 April, the government announced a £750 million funding package for charities delivering frontline services. Unfortunately not all charities will be able to benefit from this, so they should also consider whether they are eligible for other existing government schemes, such as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and deferring VAT payments.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 04/05/2020 10:09:43 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
