@IftkharNadia I completely agree with this! I’ve had the same discussion with several people. So proud to have had @KayGreyson with me ❤️ top of my +1 criteria was artist (also someone I knew I’d have loads of fun with 😂)
@PeterDVincent @dunster_matthew You don’t need the clause on your invoice to activate the late payment charges! It’s payment of commercial debt laws! Doesn’t help the fact the moneys not in your account though 😢
This is an exciting piece of work from NECF and NECP which will hopefully go some way to making the NE the best place to be a cultural worker. Please check it out, fill it in and pass it on 🙏🏽
Cultural Freelancers in the #NorthEast are one of the greatest assets to our sector. We bring a diversity of experience and knowledge, plus huge insight into organisations. Which means we must work together to create structures where freelancers thrive.

@NECulture I’ve read this article several times to see if I’m missing something, but it just feels deeply problematic and lacks understanding of the beautiful threads that make up entire creative ecology, holding value in a ‘quality’ that is utterly subjective and often elitist.
@SusanJonesArts @C0tt0n1 @ChtyCommission@StuartAndrew@GOVUK It does but it really isn’t easy!! It’s not just a matter of adjusting a document. Ideally we need guidance from the charities commission to adjust rules to allow appropriate Renumeration for communities or benefit and marginalised people. I don’t know how it’d work tho?
@_laurarothwell_ All of the strike bashing in general I find weird. Yeah, be angry! But be angry at government and big business! The money is there to support all of this, it’s just sitting off shore!
