As Scotland’s hospitality and #licensed #trade charity, The Ben is increasingly concerned about the impact of #Coronavirus on the people of our industry both in terms of health but also potential financial hardship.
The Ben is here as a safety net for anyone who works in our trade and is facing extreme financial hardship as a result of the virus, and they may be in a position to offer one-off financial assistance on a case by case basis.
If this applies to you or any colleagues please contact chris@bensoc.org.uk or call our office on 0141 353 3596.
In addition, if you are facing any issues which may impact on your mental health and wellbeing please remember The Ben offers a free #mental #health helpline which can be reached on 0800 915 4610. If, as is expected, Scotland will experience a period of social distancing and cancellation of public events or gatherings this will have a significant impact on our hospitality businesses. The Ben is here for the people who work in those businesses, we are here for the hard times, and hope to do what they can to help those facing extreme difficulty.
