Hello, and thanks for making time for this survey!

Question Title

Thanks so much for taking the time to complete our short survey about you, your life and work in Covid times – especially if you also took part in our summer survey. I’m really grateful that you are here.

A lot of what we do at the hub is about supporting fellow artists and creative freelancers/entrepreneurs, and we’ve created this survey to understand the ongoing impact COVID 19 is having on all of us and our ability to balance our minds as well as our books. After all, if we don't take care of our mental health, how can we take care of our businesses or careers?  

Rest assured your feedback will make a real difference.

In early 2021, we’ll be launching a new mental health and business support toolkit and training programme for creative freelancers and entrepreneurs, plus some new coaching groups, all of which will be free to access. Your feedback here will help us and our partners (Creative Industries Federation and Mindapples) shape this support, so that it makes the biggest difference it can for you and others in the creative sector. We are stronger working together!

The survey should only take around 10 minutes, and as a thank you we can enter you into a prize draw if you'd like us to. If you win we’ll donate £100 to a mental health or arts charity of your choice.

If you have any questions, please email me (julia@thehubuk.com). And if you can share the survey with others across the sector we’d REALLY appreciate it.  Meanwhile, rest assured we’ll keep all your feedback totally confidential.  

Finally, if you do have any worries about your mental health, please do ask for help. If you're not sure where to start, Every Mind Matters is a great resource, full of friendly advice and pointers.  

Thanks again, and take good care. 

Julia Payne
Director, the hub
