National Freelancers Day - Support it!

4th November 2009

In a drive to gain wider recognition for the contribution that freelancers, consultants and contractors make to the UK economy, PCG (The Professional Contractors Group) has declared 23rd November 2009 as National Freelancers Day. PCG is an independent not-for-profit professional association, they are the ultimate authority on the issues that affect the freelance community and Carrington Accountancy is PCG accredited. www.pcg.org.uk

As a contractor/freelancer, its imperative that you support initiatives such as National Freelancers Day because it brings tax issues to the forefront of Government agenda. National Freelancers Day will see a number of events taking place for freelancers across all sectors. It will educate the country about freelancing and embrace all interested in the freelance way of working - providing advice on hiring freelancers, becoming freelance and on how to make a success of freelancing

This day aims to:

• Highlight this flexible, agile and expert community to UK businesses, showing how to engage and work with freelancers effectively
• Celebrate Freelancing as a valid career choice, highlighting the community and support network
• Emphasise that to unlock the full potential of freelancing, Government must recognise that freelancers are in business and entitled to clear and fair taxation laws

On National Freelancers Day, PCG is launching a Manifesto for Freelancers at a reception in Westminster and a number of evening networking events are taking place across the UK. The centre piece of the day is a webcast on the future of work in which a select group of experts will look ahead to 2020, examining how the concept of freelancing is likely to develop within the changing business world.

If you would like to get involved, show your support for National Freelancers Day and visit the website, register to attend the online webcast and seek out your local networking event to participate in the discussion on the day.

Carrington are 100% supportive of this day and we think its a great thing to get behind.
