Freelancers!

It's the time we're all freaking out about self assessment tax returns, which means it's time for my now annual (and updated) thread about how it's not actually that bad. Here are some things that should help:

Today is #NationalStressAwarenessDay. For freelancers in our industry, feeling stressed is sometimes unavoidable but it's important to recognise when things are getting a bit too much and to take steps to learn how to manage it.

@LucyMPowell @michelledonelan Will you seek urgent answers as to the delayed announcement of the NPO?

[March for The Arts @MarchforTheArts]

This morning we have written to @LucyMPowell - Shadow Minister for DCMS to see urgent answers as to the delayed announcement of the NPO following @DCMS intervention with @ace_national

Check out the #freelancer stories behind the @TheDarkTheatres images. Each gives their account of how it felt on the ground on 16 March when theatres closed & describe their hopes/fears for the future of Theatre https://t.co/PUJA9cD1pI

[March for The Arts @MarchforTheArts]

Shocking news coming from @ace_national that NPO decisions which were due tomorrow have been delayed indefinitely following intervention from @DCMS - now is not the time for uncertainty like this.

@walkergallery @davidebaines @TelegraphArt @Eurovision @VisitLiverpool @CultureLPool @LivEchonews @TheGuideLpool @Telegraph @artinliverpool @wiwibloggs @bbcmerseyside @TheDbleNgtve @RadioCity967 This is outrageous. We want a full retraction and for the ‘journalist’ to set the record straight. Our MPs will be asking questions about this deliberate attempt at misinformation.

[Walker Art Gallery @walkergallery]

Hey @TelegraphArt 👋 - just reading that Liverpool has "no art galleries of national significance" in comparison to our @Eurovision competitors, Glasgow.

There’s boss art and culture in every corner of our city – so let us show you around in this thread! 😉👇

Its been a brutal couple of years for our industry & now we have a cost of living crisis.

Its a tough time to be a freelancer, but we have pages of support available on our website including emergency funds, legal support, wellbeing & more.
