New Deal of the Mind has become The Creative Society
Since founder and CEO Martin Bright wrote the article that kick-started our work, the concept of a New Deal of the Mind has provided a mutually rewarding service in which creative organisations and businesses have directly benefitted from the creation of over 1000 sustainable jobs for young people.
As our work has evolved however, we’ve had to evolve with it, and now need a new way to better reflect the positive outcomes that we as New Deal of the Mind have helped to shape.
We are therefore evolving our brand to become known as The Creative Society with a mission to build and support the creative economy.
Look out for changes across our social media sites – coming very soon.

Digital Britain Report: a lukewarm response?

It has however been criticised for being too short on detailed measures and a little too long on waffle. (more…)
Office National Statistics/ unemployment
Office of National Statistics: Joblessness at 12-year high
New statistics released by the Office of National Statistics make for worrisome reading. Unemployment in the UK has risen to 2.261 million (7.2%) in the three months to April, the highest since November 1996. It seems the greenshoots of economic recovery have yet to truly take root. (more…)
Number of Neets on the rise
More and more Neets as the recession bites
Neet numbers are on the rise. The proportion of 16 to 18-year-olds not in education, employment or training (Neets) increased from 9.7% to 10.3% during 2008 and will surely have risen further in the last six months. It does not bode well for the long-term health of the economy. (more…)
