<p>DCMS recognises that participating in culture and sport can help to tackle the
problem of loneliness. Arts Council England (ACE) aims to ensure that everyone has
the opportunity to experience and be inspired by the arts by providing funding to
organisations that promote cultural and social cohesion. DCMS has contributed<strong>
</strong>£47.5 million to 50 projects that are part of Sport England’s Community Sport
Activation Fund containing ‘reducing social isolation of the participants’ as one
of the wider outcomes of the project, and has also invested over £730,000 in Age UK
through Sport England’s Inclusive Sport fund, which is looking to overcome psychological
barriers such as isolation faced by older people with disabilities.</p>
