Freelance Heroes Day 2018

On May 16th every year, UK Freelancers come together online for #FreelanceHeroesDay to pay tribute to UK Freelance Heroes, grow their network and expand their  knowledge of the freelance industry

An annual conference also provides the Freelance Heroes community to meet up in person to learn, be inspired and open doors to opportunity through networking and collaboration.

This year the online campaign will take place on May 16th as usual. The theme is ‘Behind the Freelancer’

Here is how you can get involved in our online campaign, talking all things freelance using #FreelanceHeroesDay

1. Share a selfie or a picture of your workspace with the caption:
   #FreelanceHeroes Assemble for #FreelanceHeroesDay (be sure to include the hashtag as #FreelanceHeroes)
2. Tell us about a Freelance Hero. Someone who has made a difference to you or your business in the last year. Tag them/mention them in a social media post using the hashtag #FreelanceHeroesDay (this opens it up to businesses who may want to say thanks to a freelancer who has added value to their businesses therefore highlighting the industry as a whole)

   • How can freelancers make the most of the #FreelanceHeroes community?
