Company activities and impact

We ran around 20 sessions, in person and online, which reached 890+ with networking, professional development and mentoring events, strengthening our commitment to accessibility and inclusion. The new format of speed mentoring was essential to continue our impact and to test out a new model, which we would implement in 2025 Our newsletter grew the reach to an average of 40k readers a month and we shared on average 360 opportunities, monthly Because of our work, in December 2024 we were confirmed to lead the Roundhouse Accelerator Programme for 2025, starting in January 2025, which provides support to underrepresented entrepreneurs in the creative industries to launch their businesses. Hired and worked with a paid intern from the SOAS university, a woman with chronic health conditions, Collaborated with the Discover Creative Careers week to host a free webinar ILN’s efforts have delivered powerful outcomes, fostering inclusivity, business growth, and personal development for women and non-binary individuals in the creative industries. We ran a new survey to understand our community better: at least 9% now identify as non binary, and over 54% considered themselves with a disability and over 40% reported an annual household income of less than £25k Expanded our reach across all social media platforms Some testimonials: Thanks so much to the awesome ILNW team for tirelessly providing essential resources to trying to break into the arts. Specifically as a self- taught artist their Webinar on the DYCP grant was the first port that demystified the process and led me to succeeding on my second attempt at the grant. Our mentees who met in 2022/2023 have now expanded their business across markets in London (Open Art Markets) I moved to London a year ago to do my master's, and I just finished a couple of months ago. Finding your way around on a new job market, especially in the arts, is hard, but ILN makes it easier and more friendly. It feels as though you’re not completely alone, and that someone’s got your back. When I found ILN, I thought "I can do this" - and this is my start of learning about creative industries, even if I am an outsider. Learning is a lifestyle, and I can do it with ILN resources
