The Freelance Isolation Crisis.
Greater Manchester has over 200,000 self-employed people. While working for yourself has its benefits, 70% of freelancers express feeling isolated.
Loneliness rates among this community are at three times the national average. It's time to change the narrative.
"Greater Manchester is powered by freelancers, but the data shows they are dangerously isolated. This isn’t a ‘nice to have’; it’s a direct response to a wellbeing crisis."
