We are a creative development agency that places human creativity at the centre of learning, thinking and doing. Our work takes place within cultural education, business, manufacturing and the creative industries. We support the development of creativity as a transferable skill to improve employability and productivity. We connect young people with great cultural opportunities and aim to inspire the next generation of creative and culturally literate entrepreneurs.

We were established in 1997 and have been at the cutting edge of creative learning policy and practice for more than 20 years.

Talent Development Programme

Bridge

“This programme is exactly what is needed to support the development of untapped potential and nurture the dreams that disadvantaged young people often can’t afford to have. I’m excited to support IVE-Creative as a Patron as it will allow us to shine a spotlight onto talent that would otherwise remain in the shadows.”

Dave Stewart, Co-Founder of Eurythmics, musician, songwriter and producer.

Support IVE

Support Us

We want to excite and inspire young people, help them realise they can dream, that they can develop skills for life, for learning and for employment.

Case for Support

Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds have to close a 23% gap just to attain at the same rate as their more affluent peers. The odds are seriously stacked against them which reinforces worklessness, poverty and associated problems.

 We want to break that cycle. We want to give these young people the skills and opportunities that will raise their aspirations and build dreams that become a reality and need your help.
