"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." 
-- Bob Marley

 
Dear Vestpoders, 

We hope you are well and safe where you are. Strange times to live in. We’ve obviously cancelled all of our IRL events and workshops until further notice and we’ve been thinking about how we could best help you and support you during these times.

👀Veronica is following the news and updates from the Government about COVID-19 financial support and she’s keeping us updated on all things money because to be honest the whole thing is stressful and overwhelming to navigate. 

⏰End of the tax year: we wanted to make sure you remember that the 2019/20 tax year comes to an end on April 5th, so make sure you make the most of your annual allowances (ISAs, pensions etc). It could be a good time to review your finances!

😨The financial markets continue to be extremely volatile and many of you have been wanting to get started with investing. I am running the webinar version of our super popular Intro to Investing workshop on April 15th (£20) so join us there (the recording of the workshop will be available when you buy a ticket too).

💸Money Talk is still going! We chatted to Kim of Kim Does Marketing about going self-employed and the financial anxiety that decision brought about. We also have our anonymous money diary

💌I realise that in these uncertain times you must have a lot of questions. While we don't have the capacity to advise everyone on a personal basis, we'll do our best to address your biggest concerns. Whether it's mortgages, job insecurity, refunds for childcare... please get in touch and let us know what you'd like to see covered!

Stay home and stay safe!

COVID-19: The Financial Support Guide

Hands up if you've felt one of the following the past few weeks: scared, confused, or very, very frustrated? Same here. The lack of clarity on what you are and aren't entitled to has left thousands in the dark. And while everyone's situation is different, it still helps to try and demystify the whole coronavirus financial support shebang, so here goes.
