The ideas shaping your brand might be coming from too narrow a perspective.

When 92% of creative roles go to the most advantaged, entire audiences are left out of the conversation.

We work with brands to change that by bringing real briefs and projects into schools and unlocking thinking from young people the industry rarely hears from.

This isn’t just impact.�It’s insight.

Creativity is being squeezed out of education but the need for creative thinking has never been greater.

At Ideas Foundation, we bridge that gap by bringing real industry experience into classrooms.

For brands, this means:�
Access to fresh perspectives�
A more diverse talent pipeline�
Meaningful, measurable impact

If your organisation is thinking about the future of creativity, we should talk.

When we give the kids a sustainable fashion challenge they go all out! From extravagant hats and bags to capes and skirts. It’s a riot of creativity that allows them to show both their environmental knowledge, endless ideas and connect to the brand partner. We absolutely love seeing their creations come together.

Creativity shouldn’t depend on where you grow up.
But too often, access to creative opportunities does.
At Ideas Foundation, we’re changing that.

We bring together:�
🎓 Students with untapped potential�
🏫 Schools looking to inspire�
🏢 Brands ready to make a difference

Together, we’re building a more inclusive creative future - one idea at a time.
Because talent is everywhere.� Opportunity isn’t.

Let’s change that.

Every brief we run in a school is someone's first.

Their first time being asked for a creative idea by a brand. Their first time realising the industry might actually want what they have to offer. Their first time thinking: maybe this is for me.

That moment when a young person who's never considered a creative career starts to see themselves as a creative is what Ideas Foundation has been creating for over 20 years.

It doesn't start with a degree, a connection or a creative family. It starts with a brief and a bit of space to think.

We provide both. The rest is theirs.

92% of UK creative jobs go to the most advantaged.

That’s not a talent problem.�It’s an access problem.

At Ideas Foundation, we connect brands with the creative voices they’re currently missing through live briefs, real classrooms, and unfiltered thinking from the next generation.

Partner with us and let's change that statistic together.

When you let young people re-imagine what already exists you get amazing results. On our sustainable fashion workshops we take existing materials and turn them into something completely new. Showing how sustainable is anything but boring. From dresses to handbags, hats to capes, the possibilities are endless. 👗✨
