Labour’s Metro Mayor Dan Norris has launched a new support programme to help creative businesses and freelancers recover from the impact of Covid-19.

The Creative Sector Growth Programme aims to support recovery by working with creative businesses and freelancers to help them improve their business’s resilience.

It will offer support including:

• £3,000 of professional expertise (mentoring, coaching and/or consultancy)
• A series of peer group sessions which will bring groups of 10 businesses together regularly to address their shared challenges and learn from each other.
• access to workshops and training delivered by Watershed.
