Creative change-makers for people, places and ideas.
We are proud to be a creative social enterprise that puts people and planet at the heart of everything we do. With our diverse and talented team, and our strong network of partners, collaborators and supporters, we are excited to create change and make a real difference in the world.

Social Impact, Creative Outcomes, Community Change
At Real Ideas, everything we do is rooted in making a difference. Through creative programmes for children, young people and communities; creative career and business support; our wide-ranging engagement activities; support for those facing complex challenges; immersive innovation and collaborative, place-based projects, we work to break down barriers, unlock potential and build fairer futures. We don’t just measure success in numbers, but in confidence gained, connections made, increased agency, and leadership.

Devonport Creative Quarter
At the heart of our work is the Devonport Creative Quarter – a bold place-based vision to shape the future of Plymouth’s creative economy.
Through our sites at Market Hall, Devonport Guildhall and the surrounding area we’re building a vibrant eco-system where artists, technologists, businesses, stakeholders and partners can come together to collaborate and grow.
Supported by an incredibly talented team.
We wouldn’t be able to achieve all we do without the talented team we have.
