Annual Impact 2023/24
Each year Creative United shares the impact that our diverse and essential work has on the people and businesses that make up the arts, heritage and creative industries.
This annual report is a particularly special one for Creative United as it marks our 10th year operating as an independent community interest company.
We started the year with a celebratory event which brought together many of the brilliant people and organisations that we have collaborated with over the past 10 years in the development of our services, all of which have been focused on increasing access, inclusion and participation in the arts and creative industries.
Highlights from 2023/24
[The Take it away scheme] has allowed me to buy a piccolo to add this to our local community bad which I joined after buying it. I attend our fortnightly two-hour practices, and we have performed multiple times in the highlands and Islands, It has been absolutely amazing and I love my piccolo. After a break of about 30 years of not playing – I’m back to playing regularly. Thank you.

I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s allowed me to buy art and support artists, something I wouldn’t have been able to afford without the Own Art scheme. It really makes buying art more accessible.

The Re:Create 2023 programme has had a profound impact on both me and my business, prompting significant changes and improvements across various aspects. (…) I anticipate seeing improvements in several areas, including brand visibility, audience engagement, and overall organizational effectiveness.
