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.

The “one-in-five”, as we called them in our recent blog (19.8 per cent of this group are actively seeking work), cannot afford to be out of work for months on end as they attempt to set out in their chosen careers.

Unpaid interns on dole. Morale at risk?
Unpaid interns on the dole. Is morale at risk?
A new scheme announced last week by John Denham, Minister for Innovation, Universities and Skills, whereby unemployed graduates who take unpaid internships may continue to claim jobseeker’s allowance may be a step in the right direction for the government’s job creation plans. But are we in danger of neglecting the individual’s morale?
Despair for journalists?
A “degree of despair” for journalists?
