New platform bridges support gap for North East freelancers “Many freelancers aren't looking to create an agency or hire employees, they're looking to refine their skills, connect with like-minded professionals, and build a sustainable business on their own terms. The North East Freelance Network gives them the space and support to do just that." The North East Freelance Network (NEFN) has launched a new membership platform to address the lack of dedicated business support for freelancers in the North East, providing a community-driven solution for self-employed professionals. The NEFN is designed to “empower” freelancers with tools, connections and resources to sustain successful careers, without the pressure to scale up or hire teams.

The #Basic option just gives you a listing on the public directory. Showcase your freelance profile and your contact information. This is free. The #Pro option gives you a listing and the opportunity to feature in a Q&A profile. Plus, get invites to monthly coworking sessions, non-cheesy networking, social activities, workshops and expert talks. We have virtual co-working/focus sessions and a private Slack channel to share freelance jobs and get support from people who know exactly what it's like to be self-employed. 🔗 Find out more & sign up here: https://lnkd.in/ekV6Verf

There are plenty of business support programs for companies looking to scale up, create new jobs, build a team, or expand internationally. But what about the self-employed? If you’re just starting your freelance journey, you’ll likely find support. However, for those who don’t aspire to build an agency or hire a team, the resources available are noticeably thin on the ground. There’s a significant gap in support for freelancers who are happy being self-employed, passionate about their craft, and eager to build a thriving, sustainable freelance business. This gap inspired me to create the #FreelanceNetwork — a community where freelancers in the North East can connect, learn, and grow alongside like-minded professionals. The North East Freelance Network membership is a space for freelancers to: ➡️ grow your career ➡️ find support ➡️ share ideas Your membership gives you access to: 1️⃣ Coworking & community: An event programme that includes regular in-person coworking and networking events. 2️⃣ Upskilling & knowledge sharing: Expert-led workshops and guest speakers that help you build a sustainable career. 3️⃣ Peer support: Ask questions, swap skills, and share advice with a community of peers. 📆 What's on this month? We're kickstarting the year with a relaxed coworking (or slow networking) day Hidden Heights Creative Studio in Gateshead. Join Emma Cragg at Haylofts Hoults Yard Hubs for a workshop designed to help you start the new year with purpose and momentum. Blow the cobwebs away with a relaxed netwalking meetup along the coast. And then pop into our virtual coworking session for a mid-week pick-me-up. Join today for just £12.99/month and let's get crackin'! 🔗 Link to sign up in the comments.
