Creative Edinburgh has provided a mentoring programme valued by its members for many years. As part of programme development however, it wanted to review its offer and explore how it could further increase the impact, reach and efficiency of mentoring for its members across the city.

Culture Radar worked with the Creative Edinburgh team to understand the key questions it needed answered to do this, and facilitated a consultation day for its past mentors and mentees to gather insights and feedback to inform its offer.

Outcomes from the consultations allowed Creative Edinburgh to identify new priorities for its mentoring programme, as well as practical changes to improve mentoring selection, matching and development processes.

Creative Edinburgh launched its refreshed mentoring programme in June 2022. Culture Radar is working with the team to develop mentoring training and resources to help embed the new programme and get participants off to a flying start.
