We welcome the £270m investment announced today - a vital recognition of the direct benefit of heritage on people and places. Much of our cultural infrastructure, from museums to theatres, is also part of our heritage that will benefit from this funding.
www.gov.uk/government/n...
The government has unveiled a £270 m funding package for the arts, culture, libraries and heritage sector, including over £100m of new funding and a 5% increase to the budgets of all national museums and galleries.
NEW: The UK Government has confirmed £64m of new investment in culture projects.
This is a positive development since the Autumn Budget, when ministers said they were “minded to cancel” £100m of Levelling Up culture funding.
But £36m remains uncommitted.
