Description
Join us for our first masterclass of the semester.
Do you have a freelance business? Would you like to start a side-hustle?
Find out how best to manage your freelance journey from Vic Hancock Fell. In this masterclass you'll learn:
- How to protect yourself when working as a freelancer
- How to manage your payments and cash-flow
- Permission to build a side-hustle you don't hate running
- The practical foundations nobody teaches you
- The frameworks to make confident decisions without becoming an "expert" in everything
"I help socially purposed organisations - especially the smallest ones - lead with more confidence, clarity, and care. With 20 years in the small charity world (and all its chaos, purpose, and pressure), I know what works.
I specialise in giving small leaders the knowledge, tools, support, and strategy they need to do more good - and reconnect with the joy of why they started".

This event begins the start of the University Freelancers Guild.
Emerge: Be enterprising aims to empower the University of Sheffield community to own their craft, build their portfolio, and connect with the city's economy. We aim to work towards a guild directory which gains portfolio leads and promotes emerging freelancers and side-hustles.
As the University’s Talent Directory, we are here to help students and staff live the portfolio life by elevating their creative practice and connecting them with a network of collaborators.
Join us to ensure your work gets the recognition it deserves while building a career on your own terms.
