COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on all of us, whether we run a business, have children, elderly or vulnerable friends and family members, or if we are working in critical fields. Many of us are feeling anxious and uncertain about the future but are looking for ways to help others, to make sure that the most vulnerable are looked after. At Sheffield Digital we have been working out how we can help, and are working with the tech community, city authorities and voluntary organisations wherever we can provide value. We have compiled some information that we think will be helpful: COVID 19 Community Survey – how can Sheffield Digital help? We have compiled a survey for local digital tech firms & freelancers to describe their situation and needs, the results of which we are sharing with local and central government. Sheffield Digital Event Guidelines (COVID-19 edition) Information for event and meetup organisers, including how to access and reserve the free communal Zoom host account we have set up for running virtual meetings and events. Legal insight: how Covid-19 may affect your business Information from our legal partners Keebles on the legal ramifications of Covid-19 for tech businesses. Local & National Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic (Google Doc) An evolving list of links to other important responses and resources. A dedicated channel on the Sheffield Digital Slack group. We have set up an official #-covid19 channel on the Sheffield Digital Slack in order to share and coordinate new information and activity. If there is information that you think would be useful to the Sheffield Digital community, please get in touch. If you are looking for the latest information for businesses, check the Government Coronavirus Business Support portal.
