👇Reminder of how critical the workforce is to the sector's success at #FutureofTheatre. Internventions like a permanent rate for theatre tax relief will help boost the sector, but we must keep pushing for investment in the freelancers and Bectu members who make theatre happen.

Great to be at @vlvuk spring conference today, hearing from @CommonsCMS' @cj_dinenage on a huge year for PSBs and challenges ahead. "Public service broadcasting provides the training ground for so much creative talent and is critical to producing distinctly British content." 🙌🏼

It's been a long week, a highlight for me was meeting these two legends, sounds engineers, at the #DNW2024 event. They've set up a WhatsApp group for women in this very male dominated role in the industry to provide support to one another. Enjoyed representing @bectu on the panel
