Government announces bumper £1.5 billion package to restore national pride


This investment will make a real difference to the stability and sustainability of the sector, giving organisations like English National Opera the confidence to plan ambitiously, nurture artists and ensure that the arts remain accessible to the widest possible audiences, both now and into the future. We are delighted to see this support for the arts and many organizations with whom we are a research and innovation partner, through our support for galleries, libraries, archives and museums, for the valuation of culture, for conservation and heritage science, and for the creative and cultural economy. It’s encouraging to see culture placed back at the heart of national ambition, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside DCMS and government partners to help turn this investment into lasting impact for communities and to ensure the UK continues to lead internationally in creativity and culture.
