Any stage managers who are brilliant at returns in need of some work this week or next? We need to sort/recycle/donate a big pile of stuff, quite quickly. £150pd ideally this week and next - maybe 2/3 days work. Lots of biscuits. DM me.

I mean, it's very 2020, but still.

Hello
Do you earn a living in #sport or #creativeindustries?
Is your work affected by #CoronaOutbreak?
Would you be happy to share your concerns with me so I can make a dossier to give to govt who I think don’t understand precarious nature of #selfemployment
Please share.
