Directory for ethnic minority freelancers in London launches

A London-focused freelancer directory aimed at ethnic minority creatives launched on Monday (23 September).

The Creative and Cultural Industries Freelance Directory (CCI Directory) has been developed by charity Heart of the City and advocacy network MSDUK as part of their Minority Business Matters initiative, which works with London ethnic minority businesses.

The resource is free to use for any London-based ethnic minority freelancer and those looking to secure CCI freelancers’ services.

A spokesperson for the initiative told Arts Professional it has been designed to support diversity and inclusion in the creative and cultural industries.

They added that freelancers who sign up to the directory will enjoy benefits, including visibility to more than 120 private and public organisations and access to networking events with potential clients and fellow creatives.
