Culture Plan

Sector evidence

In the development of the Culture Plan, we undertook, commissioned and collated a great amount of sector data and research, to help provide evidence to back the Culture Plan, and to make the case for the value of culture more widely.

Our work with this is ongoing and central to our mission to put culture at the heart of our community. In service to this, we have created a resource library that is openly accessible for other organisations developing proposals or funding applications.

If this resource would be of use to you in your activities to support culture to thrive, you can access them via the link below.
