Stronger Together...
We are in scary and uncertain times at the moment so please look out for eachother...especially those who are elderly or those who are more vulnerable.
Let's be kind and support eachother and stop being selfish and inconsiderate...because lets face it; we wouldn't have won the war if we acted like how we have been recently and we won't win this one either.
Make sure you stay updated with the daily updates and news for advice and updates of the situation. Keep yours hands clean and your face covered when coughing and self-isolate if you present any of the symptoms including a new and persistent cough or a high temperature 37.8°C or more.
Please stay safe and stay strong - us small businesses are going to take a big hit and I am devastated to see so many people who have either chosen or been forced to close their businesses permanently already and some who have closed temporarily until this settles.
We need to stick together and support eachother where we can. Even if you can't afford to purchase anything - we all understand money is tight and needs to go towards essentials - you can still support in other ways such as liking their images, commenting on their posts and sharing their posts!
I will be doing my best to ensure I am providing as much support as I can via our social media platforms especially Instagram by sharing your work to my stories and the feed and featuring as many of you as I can to help get your business seen!
Don't forget you can also find our Facebook group called "Shophandmadeuk Group" where you can share your own images of your work as often as you like! Facebook is alot harder to get noticed on, so the group provides a space for us to see eachother and support eachother. You can also use the group to ask for advice or guidance on anything you wish too!
If you are self-isolaing here are a few things you can do to keep yourself occupied: (Answers have been provided by my lovely followers on Instagram)

There are also timetables available online for those with children who have to home school for the time being as the schools have been closed for an unknown period.
So again, please stay safe and please stay strong. This pandemic is a test of our own strength and our willingness to support and help others. Consider those less fortunate than you. We all have the power to help others, it just depends if we use those powers or not.
