The Freelance Exchange Peer Networking Programme is a carefully curated professional development journey designed to strengthen and uplift the next generation of freelance creative talent. Over the course of three months, we’ll bring together 15 emerging freelancers from across East London’s vibrant creative community to build confidence, grow networks, and develop the tools needed to thrive in today’s freelance landscape. 

This new strand of the Freelance Exchange centres on four core pillars: 

• Resilience 
• Wellbeing 
• Financial confidence 
• Personal Branding
• Peer support 

Participants will engage in a dynamic mix of targeted masterclasses, peer-led sessions, and monthly enrichment meetups & networking sessions from London's most exciting freelancers across the creative indus —all designed to support their growth both professionally and personally.
