<p>Arts Council England (ACE) has advised that between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022
it provided the following funding: (a) South Staffordshire (Non-Metropolitan District)
received a total of £38,500 investment representing £0.34 funding per capita; (b)
Birmingham (Metropolitan District) received £33,173,995 investment representing £29.09
funding per capita; (c&d) Kensington and Chelsea (London Borough) received £6,398,309
investment representing £40.79 funding per capita.</p><p>These data are accurate at
the time of writing, but are subject to change due to factors such as underspends,
withdrawals, and other similar grant adjustments. The figures include both Lottery
and Exchequer funding, including one-off grant schemes, such as the Culture Recovery
Fund.</p><p>As part of building back more strongly, in February 2022, the government
announced a series of measures to significantly increase and better distribute ACE’s
funding, transforming the landscape for arts and culture to ensure that it benefits
everyone. Additional funding announced at Spending Review 2021 for Arts Council England
(£43.5 million) will be invested outside London in levelling up places. This means
that access to arts and culture across the country will be transformed with plans
to increase and better distribute funding for the sector in areas outside London by
around £75 million by 2025.</p><p> </p>
