We know that Social enterprises are at the heart of the fight against coronavirus and that they will be vital for the social and economic recovery from this crisis, but too many are falling through the cracks in Government support.
There are four key points to the campaign:

Led by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, the plan will aim to ensure that, for people of all ages and backgrounds, staying at home does not need to lead to loneliness.

They can ask for advice about welfare or COVID-19, or they can just talk about how they are feeling.
