We have something very cool and close to our hearts to share with you guys today called the Nexus Hub COVID-19 Relief Fund. In short, it is a fundraising initiative we have been forced to start in order to get support for the Nexus Hub staff. This COVID-19 situation is terrible and it has affected everyone in more ways than you can imagine.
As you all know, the Nexus Hub is made up of a few divisions including websites, the awesome restaurant, the store, and of course the venue which people love to use for social gatherings, tabletop games and much more. All this is run by the great people behind the scenes. This Nexus Hub COVID-19 Relief fund has been started to help support them due to the lockdown.
Truth be told, most of the Nexus staff get paid through the functions available at the Hub. The store, the rental and event hosting all help support salaries every month. With the lockdown, none of this has been possible due to everything being forced to shut down. This is where you come in. We have come up with great ways in which you can support the staff and the initiative we are running during the lockdown. Best of all, you can win cool things by just helping out.
Nexus COVID-19 Relief Fund
Our Awesome Staff – We have started a GoGetFunding page which allows our community to donate towards staff wages for the duration of the lockdown and thereafter, as nobody really knows the long term effect of this lockdown on our economy, events and there-in the most important aspect of our business, the people that work with us.
All funds raised through this campaign go directly to the staff of Nexus Popular Culture PTY, our retail, the content writers for Nexus Media (Nexushub and Glitched.online) and our events staff. This includes the systems that help sustain them and their jobs during these trying times. The requested 300k aims at providing them financial security for at least 3 months as we recover from the lockdown and its impact on the business.
Please support the staff by donating to our GoGetFunding page here
