As Jack, the BACA Head says "It’s about raising the aspirations of students and giving them opportunities to speak to people who aren’t teachers who have experience of the real world."

People can register their interest now at www.baca-uk.org.uk/BACA-mentor/ It's a great opportunity to a positive role model in a young person's life!

Are you a freelancer or thinking of going freelance?

Come along to this special one-off Brighton Farm at The FuseBox in Brighton to meet fellow local freelancers, chat about work and self-employment, and generally get some human contact after working on your own all week...

In this special meetup as part of Talent Fest '22, we'll have a short panel session, led by Brighton Farm founder, Paul Silver. He'll be chatting to a few local freelancers, some newer to the game and others with plenty of experience and advice to share.

Then there'll be time for networking, meeting new people and hopefully sparking some fresh collaborations!

And, there'll be drinks and pizza... 🍕
