Introducing the 2025 Re:Create Cohort
We are excited to announce that over 80 artists, creative freelancers and micro-entrepreneurs from the boroughs Westminster, Richmond upon Thames and Wandsworth have been selected to join this year’s Re:Create programme – our dedicated initiative designed to strengthen sustainability and support growth in the creative sector.
Re:Create is designed to empower creative businesses to build sustainable models and strengthen their skills through expert guidance and training. Delivered by social enterprise Creative United and funded by Westminster, Wandsworth, and Richmond Councils via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the programme provides tailored support to help creative enterprises grow, adapt, and thrive.
First piloted in the London Borough of Wandsworth in 2021, Re:Create has since supported more than 200 creative businesses in the capital – boosting income, developing skills, and building confidence.
This year, the individuals and businesses selected for the programme represent the incredible creative diversity the borough of Richmond has to offer. From potters to poets and fashion designers to theatre practitioners, all have been carefully selected from a pool of applicants for this year’s cohort.
