Freelancer Skills Workshops are a chance for freelancers to hone their practical and business skills.
In this 90 minute workshop for creative freelancers, the Bush Theatre’s Finance Manager Neil Harris will take you through the basics of taxation, budgeting and financial planning within a freelance career.
There are limited free bursary places available for freelancers who need them. Please contact bushgreen@bushtheatre.co.uk for more information on how to apply for a bursary place.

As well as his main role as Head of Finance at the Bush Theatre, Neil is part time Head of Finance at the Blackheath Conservatoire, which provides art, drama and music courses to the local community.
