<p>The Government is aware of the financial challenges charities are facing during
the coronavirus outbreak. This is why the £750m funding we have announced is specifically
aimed at supporting those who need to continue providing their services as part of
the national coronavirus response.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, many charities and not-for-profit
organisations will have access to cross-cutting support already announced. This includes
the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which enables them to furlough staff. They can
also defer VAT bills to the end of June, pay no business rates for their shops next
year and can get a Business Interruption Loan. Many charity shops are already eligible
for 80% charitable rate relief, and will benefit from the new enhanced retail rate
relief at 100%.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
