“Retirement felt quieter than I expected. After a couple of months, I was bored stiff and my days were difficult to fill.

This programme gave me structure again. The workshops showed me how to turn decades of experience into a clear service, and the coaching helped me find my first client. I now work a few days a month and feel useful again.”

“I didn’t want a full-time job - that much I knew, but I wasn’t ready to stop contributing. A friend suggested Freelancer Club and I haven't looked back.

The online courses were clear, the tutors were outstanding, and the peer group kept me motivated. My mentoring gives me purpose without pressure. If it gets too much, I reduce my clients. If I want more, I go after more.”

“I loved it! What surprised me most was the confidence it gave me back. I was made redundant over a year ago and felt completely useless.

The idea of freelancing a few days a week was exactly what I needed. I learned how to price my time, pitch my experience, and choose work that fits around my life. My first contract after retirement proved I still have a lot to offer.”

“It's hard to put into words, really. The experience has honestly changed my life.

The one-to-one coaching was transformative. It helped me see my experience as an asset, not something past its sell-by date. I’ve met new people, found meaningful projects, and built a working life that fits retirement perfectly.”
