Very excited by this monumental moment for @disconsortia and the 17 disabled artists involved. We have big plans and want to involve more North East disabled artists and regional venues and organisations in what we do. Come see the work and find out more. Please RT & support us.
So excited to see this online exhibition coming together - amazing to see it all in one place! 15 pieces by disabled artists across artforms. Film, 3D print sculpture, comedy, photography, tee shirt art and so much more fab work. Join us for a live launch bit.ly/3nfYYjf

North East Freelancers! So much of our work is moving online and so meeting platforms like zoom need to be as accessible as possible. We have a zoom business account provided by the brilliant @mortalfoolsUK please get in contact if you need to borrow it for meetings ect

The SSEISS Scheme will be extended but this time only covering up to 20% of profits...
It's right for @RishiSunak to extend the #SEISS scheme but this support is still inadequate - it still excludes 1 in 3 #selfemployed #ForgottenLtd Government must do more now and prevent a dark winter for 1.5 million self-employed. Full statement to follow

Yes! Very excited to be reading this!
Thoroughly enjoyed writing my next blog post for @NEbizethics - I’m chatting about freelance sector & unethical working practices - just because it’s *normal* & accepted practice, doesn’t make it right or fair! @TWCFreelancers & @FreelanceNe - will be an interesting read!
