A great start to Hartlepool Creative Business Month 2026 - thanks to ETCH for a great session!

A big thank you to our fabulous guest speaker Alice from 'In the Frame' this morning. Alice shared with us the hardwork they have endured to create a place for creatives to access both hands on and behind the scenes experience in the world of film making. She also touched on the lessons they have learnt since they established the not for profit business structure and the rejections they have faced from funding applications.
Their perseverance and passion has kept them going!!! If you want to know more about 'In The Frame' or attend the next meet up, check out the website....
