Listen again: Tide Charity Q&A with Karren Brady, Craig Beaumont and Oliver Prill

This live Q&A session took place on 17 November 2020. Participants asked our panel questions about challenges they’re facing as they start up and maintain their small businesses during the coronavirus crisis.

The event took place as part of the launch of Tide Charity. We’re asking everyone to support the charity’s campaign to raise a recovery fund for small businesses in the UK. When applications open, Tide Charity will give grants of £1,000 to small businesses in need.

If you’re able to donate, it’s quick and easy to do via Just Giving. You can also support Tide Charity by sharing a link to the charity’s website with your network.
