History

Create was founded on 7 July 2003 from the dining room table of Chief Executive, Nicky Goulder, with the aim of empowering lives through the creative arts. Prior to this, Nicky was Chief Executive of the Orchestra of St John's. In 2013, Nicky won the Clarins Most Dynamisante Woman of the Year Award, which recognises "the action and commitment of inspirational British women who work tirelessly to help underprivileged or sick children across the globe."

Create has won more than 115 awards since 2012, including Charity Times's "Charity of the Year: with an income of less than £1 million" in 2020, and "Digital Transformation of the Year" in 2021.

In 2021/22, Create ran 981 workshops, delivering 13,439 contact hours with 1,367 disadvantaged and vulnerable children and adults.

Since 2003, Create has run 12,057 workshops, delivering 330,943 contact hours with more than 41,500 participants. Projects have been delivered across England, Scotland and Wales. Projects connect, empower, inspire and upskill participants, raising aspirations, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing. Each is rigorously evaluated to assess impact.
