New emergency support which aims to help community businesses facing a loss of trading income in light of the COVID-19 crisis has been announced by Plunkett's partner organisation Power to Change.
Plunkett adviser Dave Hollings shares his experiences and advice on business support from the government for dealing with Covid-19.
Volunteers are the backbone of many community businesses - without them many simply would not exist. Plunkett's community business manager Alison Macklin looks at how get the best out of the people who make your business what it is.
