<p>The Department does not hold data on the numbers of community brass bands in England.
Our arm’s-length body Arts Council England funds a number of brass band organisations,
but does not maintain a category solely for ‘community brass bands’. The brass band
organisations it funds includes two nationwide organisations: the National Youth Brass
Band of Great Britain, and Brass Bands England. Brass Bands England promotes, represents,
and supports brass bands across England, and will be able to provide information about
the number of community brass bands operating.</p>
