Join Creative UK’s Vital Survey on Funding for Cultural and Creative Industries.
19th July 2024
New research is being undertaken by Creative UK in partnership with the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) and BVA BDRC, supported by the Creative Industries Council, Bloomberg Philanthropies and YouTube.
This research, titled Access to Finance, seeks to capture experiences and perspectives as to how creative businesses and organisations (e.g. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Not-for Profits, etc.) use finance and funding as they grow. It’s a critical window of opportunity to directly inform the thinking of the newly formed UK Government, and to describe the experiences of people like you working in the creative economy. To do this well relies on as many creative businesses and organisations as possible participating – we want you to be front and centre in the research.
We want to know things like: why did you need to access finance for your business? Which part of the UK are you based in? What barriers did you experience in the process?
If you are a creative organisation with a turnover equal to or less than £50m and an employee headcount equal to or less than 250 – then we want to hear from YOU.
Owners of creative SMEs and organisations hold essential perspectives that need to inform policy. This is a chance to affect the future of creative funding and finance and generate change for yourself and other creators.
Have your say and share this survey with your far-reaching networks to ensure the entirety of the creative sector and as many voices who head up SMEs and organisations are included and represented in this work.
Research launch date: Thursday 18 July 2024 / Research closing date: Thursday 15 August 2024
