So what can you do? - what will you do?

So what can you do? - what will you do?

Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, last week issued a challenge in his words below. As he committed the country to underpinning employment for millions he eased the burden on thousands of businesses, big and small. Simultaneously he challenged us to support one another, so as employers, what help can we give, what more can we do than meet the payroll?

The employees we look after today will be the team tasked with pulling us upright again when this is all over - "and it will be over"

Now, more than any time in our recent history, we will be judged by our capacity for compassion.

Our ability to come through this,won’t just be down to what government or business can do, but by the individual acts of kindness we show one another.

The small business who does everything they can not to lay off their staff.

The student who does a shop for their elderly neighbour.

The retired nurse who volunteers to cover some shifts in their local hospital.

When this is over, and it will be over, we want to look back at this moment and remember the many small acts of kindness done by us and to us.
