Help the OC Club staff survive

So the corona virus is causing those of us who are lucky enough to be able, to work from home... No big deal right?
Well along with the much publicised implications this virus may cause to us, our family and friends, some are going to find the next few weeks and months financially debilitating.
The OC Club has always been a welcome place where we meet our friends and watch our kids play freely. We have begun to take the people and hard work required to make this place work for granted and sometimes I feel going to the club is like visiting relatives.
We don't see the hard work it takes, the clearing up, the organisation required, the cost - we just thinks its good craic to moan about the prices and have a laugh...
JJ, Georgie and the staff work hard to provide us with the service we have become accustomed to and in so doing have become close friends with many of us.
Now the correct decision has been made to close the club and it's doing its bit to flatten the curve, the club will be empty but the staff, bills, suppliers etc. still have to be paid.
In a time where we flippantly say "If there's anything I can do to help just shout?" and then keep scrolling on and laughing at the next meme....
I feel compelled to actually do something to help. So what can a guy who's self-isolating, sitting in front of his computer do for his friends who rely on people to visit their business?
The answer... this! Help me help them...
The club have always been so generous to the many charitable causes our members raise funds for and I think its our turn to show them how much we appreciate everything they do.
I haven't the faintest idea what it 'costs' to run our club but having asked - its well over £10k a month and who knows how long this will go on for?
But I urge those of us who can afford to, to spare a bit to help the people who work at and rely on the club for their income.
It's worth it and something you can do!
Thank you
