It also applies to retainer packages, multi-document projects, and content series unless otherwise stated.

Why:
Palestinian professionals working under occupation, siege, or displacement conditions often face severe restrictions on mobility, safety, funding, and freedom of expression.

It reflects a commitment to accessibility, dignity, and the right to be heard—especially in contexts where voices are often marginalised or silenced.
If you’re unsure whether your role qualifies, you’re welcome to reach out.
🧒 Young People in Care or Care-Experienced Individuals
Young people currently in the care system—or adults with a care-experienced background—are eligible for a 20% discount on all freelance services.
This includes those who have been:
In foster care
In residential or group care homes
Under kinship or local authority care
Previously looked after, including care leavers
Why:
Care-experienced individuals often face unique challenges in accessing creative, educational, and professional development opportunities. This discount is offered in recognition of that and as a small step toward accessibility and inclusion.
Proof accepted:
A letter or email from a support worker, personal advisor, or education support staff.
Care-experienced identification or programme enrolment (e.g. “care leaver” status for HE funding).
Self-declaration is also accepted with honesty and discretion.
