New sources of possible help for any business suffering in the current crisis ... simple support finding tool at lnkd.in/gvpRdR2 and Bounce Back, a new loan scheme about to launch at lnkd.in/gmBQtZM ... if new to you, please share so that everyone is aware?
There are nearly 7,000 businesses in Cumbria that have yet to claim the Coronavirus grants they're entitled to. These are worth at least £10k, £25k in some cases. They're grants, not loans, so you don't have to to repay the money. Details here. buff.ly/33WvePh

If you are considering any investment project, there are currently several #grants open though only for a limited time. If you might be spending on equipment/machinery/buildings/marketing, it might be worth a chat - takes 5mins to establish if there might be something for you!

Happy New Year to clients old and current ... and prospective! With apologies to all who I have encouraged to post regularly across social media, even if they aren't keen personal users, I've decided to start my New Year differently and post some of my own!! #grants

Looks like another diet may need to suffer ...

If say 1,000 people give wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year, it'd really help struggling pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats! RT if you're on board for saving time, effort and wildlife by mowing less 🐝🐸🐞

Great to see #PrinceCharles supporting local farming & food in Cumbria today .. and great furniture @ #PeterHall too!
@ConsultiCumbria True..appreciated Zoe's help so didn't like to mention! Grant scheme still open but probably only for couple more months
@ConsultiCumbria @quirkytraveller Well spotted Ray..small typo though #grant scheme has no turnover limits-more interested in project impact
Time to feed the parking meter at #M&S!
