"Joining IPSE is one of the single most important things a freelancer can do. They have information at their fingertips, lobby on your behalf and keep you constantly connected. It gives you such a strong sense of being part of a wider community and that your voice matters."

"IPSE gives freelancers the support they need to thrive in today's market. For me, the best part of IPSE membership is attending the organised events as I always learn something new and make useful connections."

"From lobbying government on freelancer rights and policy, to providing access to the perks normally reserved for employees, being an IPSE member is the smart play."

"As a freelancer, having something like IPSE to provide support and advice on everything from tax to legal matters is invaluable. What’s more, it’s a community that bring freelancers together and an industry body fights our corner on major issues - both of which make all the difference when you work alone."

"Having IPSE membership helped me to ensure I had implemented all of the best business practices, and it's great to be part of such a friendly support network of other freelancers too."

“There’s quite a lot of resources, in terms of thinking about how you pitch your work, don’t get paid late or whatever it might be.”
