Lost my second job

Hi All,
Wonder can anyone give me some advice, I lost my job as a Doorman last week as a result of the Covid 19 situation, I am very lucky to have a dayjob with in the security industry that has not been effected by this outbreak and I don't think will be effected. Still tho I was earning anywhere between 150 and 200 per weekend on the door. Will I be entitled to anything with the new government measures? or will the fact I still have a full time job rule me out, I was scraping by each week before this happened I simply don't know how I will make ends meat being down 150/200 per week. Any advice greatly welcome and hope everyone stays safe.

    It is for employers to apply for the 80% grant for furloughed workers, and I can't see them taking you back on to do this. You can see if you are eligible for universal credit by going on the website, but if you have a full time job you probably won't get anything.

    They are probably worried because they clearly work hard and are now losing alot of money.  Why wouldn't they be serious?
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......
