Creeq Community interest Company was established in June 2023 to create opportunities to advance access to quality creativity with particular focus on people with protected characteristics. Initial months were spent building networks and setting up public information channels (website, social media, email) towards the ambition of raising public awareness of the benefits of creative engagement. Creeq started trading in October 2023 with its first commission, a year-long contract with the National Trust. For this project, Creeq is engaging four diverse groups in creative workshops and co-design of new sculptures, ideal for reaching its Creative Equality aims. The groups are: residents/National Trust volunteers local to Croome, looked-after young people (in care), prisoners at HMP Hewell and vulnerable women supported by the Joy project (part of Worcester Community Trust). Evaluation shows 98% of participants have seen wellbeing benefits through taking part. Further benefits are expected as the project continues. Monitoring data shows the company is achieving its aim of supporting people with protected characteristics: participant ages range from 6-79 and 61% have a neurodiversity diagnosis, 53% experience mental health issues, 31% have a physical disability, 20% are looked after / care experienced. 75% have never taken part in any similar creative project before and 98% said they’d recommend taking part to others.
In 2023-2024 the company’s stakeholders have been the director, commissioning staff at the National Trust and participants/partner organisations engaged in the Four Seasons project. All project participants are asked to complete a wellbeing survey (based on the Edinburgh scale) at the start and end of their creative programme, so impact can be gauged. This has shown 98% of participants experienced wellbeing improvements through engagement. Gathering quantitative data has proved to be useful so this will continue to be used in future projects. Monitoring surveys have also been useful in tracking the ambition of supporting people with protected characteristics (see pervious impact description) so this will also continue. Participants are asked to complete a short questionnaire about project experiences at the end of the creative sessions. This has helped evaluation at each project stage and delivery content has been adjusted in response to feedback, ensuring the most popular activities remain and are developed. In final responses, 100% of Four Seasons participants said they would recommend the workshops to others and 99% rated their experience ‘excellent’ or ‘good’. Partner and commissioning organisations are also asked for feedback but gaining responses is challenging, so a future action is to try a more formal questionnaire for partners. It is anticipated these comments could be useful for company assessment and development.
The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to or receivable by the director in respect of qualifying services was £3,023. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
