As your Chief Executive \u2013 and with our wider PRS Team \u2013 we wanted to make sure we are supporting you through these difficult and unusual times. Over the last month we\u2019ve heard from a number of you struggling to make ends meet and we want to help.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve come together with our partners at the PRS Members\u2019 Fund and the PRS Foundation to launch the PRS Emergency Relief Fund.
\nThis money is available to PRS members globally and will be offered in grants of up to \u00a31000 each, depending on need.<\/p>\n

The PRS Emergency Relief Fund is open to those who:
\n\u2022 have been a PRS writer member for at least two years
\n\u2022 have earned at least \u00a3500 of royalties within the last two years
\n\u2022 are suffering genuine hardship from loss of income due to the coronavirus pandemic<\/p>\n

Establishing this new PRS Emergency Relief Fund is part of a wider plan to support members during the coming weeks, with further measures being worked on.
\nTo find out more about the PRS Emergency Relief Fund and apply for a grant go to our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not eligible for the fund, we\u2019ve put together information on organisations who may be able to help.<\/a><\/p>\n

The entire PRS team is focussed on processing and paying royalties to members as normal and mid-April\u2019s payment will proceed as usual. If you\u2019re due royalties, we\u2019re planning to show the amount you\u2019ll be paid on your member homepage on Wednesday 8 April.<\/p>\n

This is the first step we’re talking to help to you, our members. We hope this will also act as a catalyst for the wider music industry to do more.<\/p>\n

We know you look to PRS for Music for leadership, for support and to be the best and most trusted collecting society in the world.
\nStay safe, stay healthy. Take care of each other.<\/p>\n
