The programme was convened by a freelancer-led consortium, who came together to build on existing advocacy, research and campaigning across culture.

Over nine weeks, we invited you to take a journey…
FREELANCE : FUTURES was a 9-week programme for independent practitioners, cultural organisations, unions, funders and policymakers. It will take all of our efforts to effect real change, so we encouraged arts organisations to bring their eco-systems with them to engage, share, learn and mobilise.
To help progress this change, we created a dedicated F : F online community. Hundreds of freelancers from across the UK have already joined our Mighty Networks platform, where conversations have continued and connections have been made.
It’s free to join and we have paid for an annual subscription to ensure we have enough time to connect, communicate and create.

ACCESS
We sought to build a programme and a space that was as accessible as possible.
All sessions were free of charge, captioned and BSL interpreted.
The sessions were programmed at different time-slots, and took place across nine weeks, to enable more flexibility to engage in the programme alongside work, life and caring commitments.
All sessions were recorded where possible and will remain permanently available for future access, either as a captioned video, interpreted video or a summary of notes.
