Curious Minds

Who We Are

Curious Minds is a company dedicated to helping people and organisations realise their greatest asset - their creative potential.

We are a creative social enterprise delivering high quality programmes and services to partners and clients concerned with education and learning, regeneration and cohesion, and the development of social and emotional well being.

We believe it is everyone’s right to have the opportunity to live, learn and work creatively and we work to realise this ambition by enabling creative collaboration.

We pride ourselves in our ability to make collaborative partnerships work effectively and are experienced in developing partnerships between a wide range of service providers.

Our Vision

We work with others to build a society where children and young people, particularly those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, have plentiful opportunities to participate actively in creative learning and cultural production, in and out of school, leading to the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable them to contribute fully to society and lead positive and productive lives.

Our vision for Curious Minds is the development of an organisation that has a widely held reputation for acting with integrity, for ensuring the well-being of its employees and for working in ways which are inspiring, enabling, inclusive and creative. 

Our Mission

Curious Minds works to improve children and young people’s lives by increasing opportunities for active participation in arts, culture and creative learning. 

Our values and ethos

Our work is underpinned by a set of core beliefs:

• We believe it is everyone’s right to have the opportunity to realise their creative potential
• We believe that art, culture and creativity have an extraordinary capability to transform the lives of individuals and communities and that all children and young people should have access to them, regardless of their personal circumstance
• We believe in collaboration and that the thinking that emerges from partnership working is more powerful than that which any single individual or organisation can produce on their own. We believe in dialogue as an essential basis for learning
• We believe in placing children and young people's ideas, interests and concerns at the core of our work and provide rich opportunities for children and young people to learn creatively and develop personal resilience and leadership skills
• We believe in developing Curious Minds as an organisation where people can work imaginatively and creatively, enjoy a healthy work-life balance and develop their skills within a culture of continuous learning
• We believe in generously sharing our knowledge, thinking and learning with others and actively participate in networks.
