I feel much stronger for being part of the Museum Freelance network. It’s helped me transition into a totally different way of working - being self-employed - keeps me up to date with conversations, policy and practice and allows me to meet people from a breadth of disciplines. The quality and range of networking experiences is pitched perfectly.

As someone new to freelancing, the Museum Freelance network has been a real find in my first year. They have organised friendly, free meetups with other freelancers in the sector, they share tenders and freelance opportunities and work on our behalf in the cultural sector to push for fairer pay and tenders. As a result of the Network I have found more work and made lasting connections to other freelancers. I very much appreciate all the work they do for us.
