Creative Business Support

Introducing Generator's Creative Business Support

Thank you to all creatives who have been part of Generator’s Creative Business Support programme (PKA Create: Elevate), made possible by North Shields Cultural Quarter, North Tyneside Council and the North East Combined Authority.

As our two-year project comes to a close in March 2025, we will be continuing our drop ins on Thursday 10am to 12pm at R Place, on Nile Street, until the end of March. You are still welcome to drop by for free advice and signposting.

About

What support was on offer?

The programme supported Cultural & Creative start-ups and existing businesses in North Tyneside with targeted support and training delivered in the heart of the North Shields Cultural Quarter. We gathered a team of industry experts who joined these businesses on their journey, providing a fascinating insight into the creative industries.

If you have been part of the programme, please check your email for a link to our impact survey as we would greatly appreciate your feedback. Time and again, we’ve heard how invaluable it is to have a business support programme designed by creatives, for creatives, offering tailored industry-specific guidance that is rarely found in broader business initiatives. Your insights will help us demonstrate the programme’s true impact, strengthening the case for continued support for creative businesses in our region.
