About Freelancer Club

In 2008, Matt Dowling spent his last £300 on a lawyer in an effort to recover £11,000 that was owed to him from an unpaid invoice. The final attempt failed. Matt, a freelance photographer, was broke, frustrated and out of ideas. The story made the national press and freelancers reached out with similar tales. Realising the need for support and determined to put a stop to the exploitation of creative freelancers, the seeds of Freelancer Club were sown. Today, Freelancer Club is one of the leading creative communities online with over 65,000 freelancer members supporting one another. We empower freelancers through an ecosystem, providing them with training, resources, mentorship, and a vibrant community to thrive in.
