I'm touring Lynn Faces next year to venues confirmed pre-Fringe. I've managed to find funding to cover wages but because of the ongoing situation with Summerhall we're short of funds for rehearsal space. We need 2 weeks in London, can anyone help?

We've created financial resources for working class freelancers and for organisations, which include:
- Advice leaflet for artists navigating self-employment and benefits
- Embedding the @turn2us_org Benefits Calculator as part of our offer to artists
➡️rtyds.co.uk/financial-resour…
ALT Text reads: Freelance artists from low socio-economic backgrounds who work in theatre expressed they would most like support around contractual, finance, accounting and tax advice. (Taken from the October 2024 Arts Council England Cultural Freelancers Report).
ALT Text reads: We know how important this is and that’s why we created these resources for working class freelancers and for organisations: - Advice leaflet for artists navigating self-employment and benefits - Embedding the Turn2us Benefits Calculator as part of our offer to artists - Surviving on a Shoestring – a programme working with organisations to achieve greater financial equity for artists in receipt of long-term benefits or long-term financial insecurity. Go to our website: www.rtyds.co.uk/financial-resources/
Today we've published the Cultural Freelancers Study conducted by @Uni_of_Essex
The aim of this study was for us to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by freelancers across artforms we support

All power to you @LauraCHorton for continuing to push this forward - but this is unrelenting and exhausting and it should not be on the artists to do this.
In @ObserverUK today. Thanks to those sharing & sending kind messages. I just need to get through until the court date & find energy to keep making noise if needs be, I know speaking out is scary especially when there is so much wealth & power. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…
