We are delighted to introduce our 2021-22 Annual Report championing, connecting, supporting, and investing in the UK’s Creative Industries with a focus on people, place, and the planet.
Our latest Annual Report demonstrates the impact of our work helping to empower the creative sector through our core organisational pillars for 2021/22 to prioritise people, place and the planet.
Through these three principles Creative UK builds industry insight, advocates for the contribution the cultural and creative practitioners and businesses make to the UK economy and civic society and provides practical support and investment to help creative people and businesses to grow and thrive.
“We know the Creative Industries are far-reaching and are growing at four times the rate of the wider economy but there is still work to be done for both the public and the Government to recognise the value and impact of creativity across the UK”, says Caroline Norbury OBE, Chief Executive, Creative UK. “In this report you’ll see that as well as championing and advocating for the creative industries we have also provided direct, tangible support – from advice, guidance and business support to creative entrepreneurs, talent development schemes and directly investing £3.5m into small, high growth creative companies.”
