We’ve covered coworking plenty on Freelance Advisor. Be it at dedicated coworking spaces or weekly Jelly meetings, we think coworking is a fantastic way for freelancers and contractors to get out there, enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, get some work done, and do some no-pressure networking. It would seem out enthusiasm is shared by many coworkers, as evidenced by the results of a survey by Deskmag.
SPACE is a co-working space with a difference. While most of the shared offices we’ve come across are utilitarian rows of desks with power outlets (albeit usually with some trendy flourishes thrown in), SPACE is just that…a space. It is geared towards artists more than developers, and has a thriving community of creative people who use their services every day.

If you’re a work-from-home freelancer, you may very well have heard of Jelly, the popular co-working group. Born in 1996 out of two New York freelancer’s loneliness, Jelly groups became more popular and finally came to the UK in late 2009, and now over 60 events per month are held across the country. The thinking behind these events is that although working from home is great, sometimes it can get a tad lonely.

Co-working offers freelancers both flexibility of where to work and also the chance to meet with like-minded co-workers and collaborators. Working from home expert Judy Heminsley recommends the Jelly approach.
