1/ It’s Sunday and rather than bombard you with more case deals and web specials I thought it was time for reflection but I realised it should be for celebration. For every family at home bored, filling their time with internet challenges, DIY projects and day-drinking on Zoom
2/ there’s a self employed producer or artist who is now struggling to keep their business afloat. A person who is balancing the fear and worry we’re all facing with new family demands, fewer opportunities and the prospect of slipping through the cracks of government support.
3/ This is the world Paso lives in and amongst the panic, the worry and the scramble to keep our business going we have been bowled over by the support of the wonderful people we’ve met since we started. Friends from all walks of life have helped with deliveries, spread the word
