What's The Problem?

Today's workplace demands a more rounded skill-set than ever before. To meet modern challenges, you'll need to possess adapability, an entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering resilience.

All the while, freelancing is BOOMING! The rise in hybridised work and advancements in technology has seen an increase in demand for skilled freelancers.

And yet, new freelancers are wildly underprepared for the realities of work and struggle to achieve financial stability. They lack the confidence and business know-how to generate a sustainable income.

If we are to protect the considerable economic contributions made by freelancers and prepare a growing number of talented individuals for the current climate of work, we must change the way in which we support the next generation of talent.

Our Mission

Provide all individuals access to freelance business training and support
Tackle the current freelance failure rate of 1 in 5 within their 1st year and 60% by year five
Create pathways for marginalised communities to consider freelancing as a viable career option
Address the stigma and change the culture around freelancing to be more aligned with its true value

Rise, Freelancer plans to achieve its mission by working with educational institutions, charities, social enterprises, local authorities and organisations - all focused on the successful rise of freelancers as an essential part of the future of work and as valuable contributors to the economy.

We identify targeted groups to support equality, diversity and inclusion in line with shared ethical frameworks and moral obligations to the communities we serve.
