Furlonteer.com is a non-profit project connecting furloughed employees with the people who need it most. The initiative received over 1,000 sign-ups in the first 48 hours and over 50 charities have been matched with ‘furlonteers’ over the past week. The Irish Horse Welfare Trust has already joined the platform to see help during the crisis. The Furlough scheme in the UK pays unessential employees to stay at home – but they are not allowed work for their employer.
