<p>The £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund will provide targeted support to critical
cultural, arts and heritage organisations to help them survive and recover through
the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>Our priority is to ensure that organisations get the
funding they need as swiftly as possible. That is why £3.36 million has already been
allocated to 136 grassroots music venues across England, in view of the urgent need
to protect organisations in that sector from imminent collapse. The delivery bodies
are also currently processing more than £800 million of applications for grant funding,
and will make announcements about hundreds of allocations in the coming weeks.</p><p>We
are aware that the events industry and its supply chain has been severely impacted
by Covid-19. We continue to engage with stakeholders, including through the Visitor
Economy Working Group and the Events Industry Senior Leaders Advisory Panel, to monitor
the situation.</p><p> </p>
