Freeing up potential… Freeing up your diary
National Freelancers Day is a must for your diary, so get Tuesday 23rd November circled on the calendar. It will be a day when PCG members and the wider freelance community take time out to reflect on the growth of the freelance sector across the UK and its contribution to the economic wellbeing of the nation.
The theme for this year’s Freelancers Day is ‘Freeing up potential’.
Last year we focused on ‘the Future of Work’, hosting a series of events that attracted input and participation from the community along with a launch of our ‘Manifesto for Freelancing’ in the parliaments of Westminster and Holyrood.
This year’s schedule promises to be just as interesting with special emphasis on the lifestyle choice offered by freelancing and the growing contribution the freelance community make to the UK’s economy.
John Brazier, Managing Director of PCG, believes National Freelancers Day is fast becoming a significant date for many of the UK’s 1.4 million freelancers. John said:
“The success of last year’s events underlined the growing importance of the freelance community to the economy of the UK. More and more people see freelancing as their ideal 21st century work choice. They see the potential of freelancing as a positive and rewarding choice for their work while enhancing their lifestyle.
“We reached out to the freelance community throughout the UK and the attendance at regional events underlined the growing confidence and pride freelancers have in their role in society.”
Look out for further announcements on how you can participate on the day at www.nationalfreelancersday.org.uk but for now put 23rd November in your diary.
Note to editors:
PCG, the voice of freelancing, is the independent association that represents, supports and promotes the freelance community in the UK. PCG exists to serve the needs of its membership, which has grown steadily to encompass circa 20,000 freelancers, contractors and consultants.
