On 20th September, Creative Wick facilitated a free Funding Options and Marketings Strategy Workshop for Creative Businesses at Arebyte gallery in Hackney Wick.

The Workshop was an initiative from Get Set for Growth that explored available funding opportunities with a focus on creative type businesses.
