Company activities and impact

Creative Access (Access Media CIC)'s mission is to support talented people from groups that are under-represented in terms of ethnicity, socio-economic background and disability, or facing significant barriers to employment, to not just enter the creative industries, but to thrive when they get in. Only then will the industry truly reflect and engage broader society. We are a social enterprise, unrivalled in diverse recruitment, training and inclusion. We work with organisations across the whole creative economy. Creative Access is largely funded by our employer partners who are committed to improving diversity and inclusion within their organisations, wholeheartedly. Profits go back into growing, training and supporting our community. During 2025 Creative Access has benefited the community in the following ways: - 1,282 roles listed on our site - Over 140 candidates placed in paid internships - More than 300 different employer partners - Over 1,300 participants in 132 training sessions - More than 300 attendees at CV clinics and CV tips sessions - 10 masterclasses for 420 participants - 204 participants in career support programmes - 312 participants in mentor programmes - More than 2.4 million reach on social media

Consultation with stakeholders

We have two groups of stakeholders: 1. Those from communities that are under-represented across the creative economy primarily from ethnically diverse and low socio-economic communities and people with disabilities. We solicit feedback after every programme intervention, from CV workshops to virtual masterclasses, to determine how we can improve our services and what people might find useful from further initiatives. We implement any actions arising from feedback, such as tweaking the content and delivery of workshops. We also run regular surveys of our community to consult on approaches and activities. 2. Creative employers across the UK. We try to make our services as bespoke as possible, working in collaboration with partners to determine how best they should create an inclusive workplace. We ask for feedback after every employer training workshop we deliver and after the recruitment of any individual. We also ask employers to complete regular feedback questionnaires on the progress of their intern or mentee to ensure are consulted, valued and listened to.
