#GiveAFare

Covid-19 is spreading across the world, separating families, closing businesses, causing mass disruption and cutting short lives.

Many people on precarious work contracts (zero hours, freelancers and more), won’t get paid if they are sick or decide to practice social-distancing for the good of others.

So if you have the luxury of working from home, please consider donating the money saved on your commute to those in a more vulnerable position. Please #GiveAFare. 

These are the baristas who greet you with a smile in your local cafe, the cleaners keeping your office hygienic amidst the outbreak, the delivery drivers dropping off your parcels, and the staff stocking shelves in your supermarket so you can feed your family.

As an example, in London, if you take two peak tube rides a day in zones 1-3, that’s £6.60.

£6.60 x 20 = £132 per month. I'm not suggesting you donate it all (though if you can afford to, please consider it), or that it’s enough to substitute a living wage, but it could make a real difference for those on a financial knife-edge.
