Creative UK is a national organisation that champions, connects, supports and invests in people and businesses across the creative industries. Formed when Creative England and the Creative Industries Federation joined forces, it combines practical business support and investment with industry insight and policy advocacy. Its work aims to strengthen the role of creativity in the UK’s culture, economy and education, while helping creative ideas and businesses thrive.

Creative UK offers membership for creative organisations and leaders, connecting them through networks, events, research and exclusive resources. Members can access policy support, opportunities to collaborate, industry insights, festival content, invitations and business perks, including legal advice and discounts. Student membership helps students and young creatives build connections and find resources to launch their careers.

The organisation also supports creative businesses through investment programmes, including Creative Growth Finance, and provides guidance through initiatives such as regional growth programmes and Creative Enterprise support. Its advocacy campaigns, publications and career programmes promote the value of the creative industries and help address sector-wide challenges.
