Hannah Foster has always had a flair for musical theatre. As a full-time primary school teacher, she loves to choreograph dance routines and facilitate art and craft activities for kids at special events. However, with the Queen’s platinum jubilee on the horizon, the Middlesex-based teacher finally saw a chance to use her talents in other ways. With the opportunity in sight, Foster decided to sign up for online and mobile marketplace Airtasker with the goal of using her abilities to make some extra cash in the lead-up to the bank holiday weekend.
There’s been a buzz in the air ahead of the platinum jubilee. A recent poll found that 63 per cent of Britons were planning to celebrate at some point over the 2-5 June weekend, which means there are lots of opportunities for people to put their skills to good use. In the run-up to the weekend, and as the UK continues to face a cost of living crisis, many people have begun using their skills as side-hustles. While some people are turning into princesses for kids, others are baking lavish cakes, or planning illustrious themed parties. Essentially: if you can imagine it, you can do it.
