With the government furlough scheme coming to an end on 31 October, more than a third of UK employers plan to make staff redundant over the next three months, according to research.

The hospitality industry has been one of the worst sectors affected with fears that 300,000 people could lose their job. Earlier this week, the UK’s largest cinema operator Cineworld confirmed it will temporarily close all of its 127 sites.

We want to hear about your experiences and what concerns you have for the future.
