Many thanks for your message my answers to your questions are below in bold-

Have you accessed a support scheme and if so, which one?  

Co-funding scheme

How did you find the application process? Were you provided with any information on the scheme?  

Excellent

Did you feel supported through the process?

Yes

Were you excluded from applying for a scheme? If so, which one?

Co-funding scheme. We found out late, was advised by a friend to apply. When we did we were informed our application was late by one day and couldn't be backdated. We then applied for the following month which was successful

If you could make improvements to the scheme(s) what would they be?

We are grateful for any support. But the reality is for most businesses in the hospitality sector, the support package has not been fit for purpose. The disruption to our business caused by the lock-down has been disastrous. Larger F&B concerns with larger cash reserves are just about coping, for smaller businesses like us it's been catastrophic.
