✨ Today we’re celebrating a big win for the creative economy. A win for the grassroots – the artists, makers, musicians and small creative enterprises.

For over a decade, Creative United has supported these people whose creativity enriches our lives, but who face the greatest challenges to making a living.

We collaborate with funders, universities and partners to deliver practical solutions that help creative professionals build sustainable futures, including our consumer credit schemes, @own.art and @takeitawaymusic.

📈 In 2024/25, we experienced a year of growth and meaningful change, providing a £6.5 million boost to practitioners and communities across all four nations of the UK.

Our new Annual Impact Report shares the stories, insights and outcomes of that work, told directly by the creative professionals we’ve supported.

Huge thanks to our funders and partners for helping us in our mission. 🙏
