If you are based in the UK you may already be aware of PCG (the Professional Contractors Group), an independent and not-for-profit organisation who represent and support the freelance community here.
PCG recently announced that they were creating and hosting a National Freelancers Day on 23 November this year.
The main idea behind the day is:
National Freelancers Day aims to:
- Highlight the freelance community to UK businesses, educating on how to engage and work with them.
- Celebrate Freelancing as a valid career choice.
- Unlock the full potential of freelancing, recognising that freelancers are entitled to clear and fair taxation laws.
It all sounds like a good opportunity to promote the cause of freelancers, along with promoting ourselves at the same time. Also, by getting involved with freelancers from other industries we could gain ideas from each other on how to do it better.
How you can get involved
There will be a number of events taking place across all sectors – not just the creative industry. I will be posting further information on this website nearer the day, but in the meantime you can get involved in the following ways:
- Read more about the event on PCG’s announcement article.
- Comment below with any ideas you have on how the creative industry can mark this event – I will forward these to PCG for you.
- Comment below with any topics or questions you think should be raised or answered as part of the event – I will also forward these to PCG.
