Creative UK

Creative UK is the national membership body for the Cultural and Creative Industries. As an independent not-for-profit, we invest, connect, support, and champion creative organisations to drive a thriving creative economy. Our members include trade bodies, arts and cultural organisations, heritage sites, industry leaders, freelancers, SMEs, education providers, and local authorities. We offer tailored resources and financial support, including bespoke investments, funding access, loans, and growth mentoring. Leveraging our members’ insight and experience, we shape UK Government policy and advocate for meaningful, whole-sector change.
