Furlough- what is fact and what is fiction?

CharityConnect: Furlough- what is fact and what is fiction?
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing ok in what feels like an ever changing and challenging environment on both a professional and personal level. As with many other charities, we are currently navigating the complex new realm of furlough. You can read what we are doing in this blog by our CEO. 
Furlough is something I had never even heard of a few weeks ago (I am sure that is true for many others!). The process is throwing up a lot of questions as I imagine it is for many other organisations. So, I thought I would set up a thread where people can share the facts of furlough and also help others in banishing some of the fictions out there. 
Some examples of questions that have come up so far include:
1) Can you still share things on social media about your charity? 
2) Could you volunteer your expertise for similar charities? If so, does it have to be in a different capacity to your normal role? 
3) Would you be able to post on sites like this whilst on furlough? (particularly poignant for me as I will be on furlough myself as of Monday and am keen to stay engaged with the community!) 
It would be great if people could share their experiences or any helpful links they have found below. I know I would personally find it very helpful and imagine others will too over the coming weeks.
Thanks in advance and sending love and strength to you all 💪
