#WeMakeEvents - Stand as One on Global Action Day

Posted on: 24th September 2020

#WeMakeEvents aims to raise awareness on the current plight of the live entertainment sector and its urgent need for financial support if it is to survive Covid-19. #WeMakeEvents is steered by a collective of industry trade bodies, business and freelancers; collaborating closely together to increase the awareness of this industry crisis and gain government backed support in the form of, grants, not loans, made available to businesses in the events supply chain, extended furlough schemes and extended self-employment schemes tailored towards the industry.

Last months’ Day of Action was tremendously successful as we saw buildings across the UK lit up in red to give a visually clear message to the government that we need more support. This will be followed by the Global Action Day on Wednesday 30 September, where thousands of venues and places of work across the globe will once again #LightItInRed alongside unique projections, art installations and outreach to government officials and media to raise awareness and drive change.
