Freelancers unite! The power of co-ops and joint working (webinar)

It makes good business sense for self-employed people to join forces, form co-ops and enjoy benefits such as shared costs, resources, knowledge and expertise. Co-ops enable their members to have access to fairer, more decent work, as well as a share of the profits. And by coming together, freelancers can bid for larger scale tenders, gain access to new markets and innovate through sharing creative ideas.

Watch this webinar with:

• Aysha Haq, Chapel Street Studio – a co-operative of creative freelancers in Bradford
