The Creative Society is an employment charity that helps young people wanting to work in the creative and cultural sector. We are driven by our conviction that creativity is central to what it means to be human and that this sector should be open to everyone. For this reason, we promote fair access to creative opportunities to help young people remove the barriers that prevent them from making progress. We are especially keen to help those from low socio-economic backgrounds. Over the past decade we have worked with government, local authorities and jobcentres to provide practical help for young people who do not have the networks or financial means to break into the sector.
