The Government is committed to the development of an arts and cultural sector that is representative of modern society and in which there are no barriers to participation. The Secretary of State has named increasing access to arts and culture across the whole country as one of her top priorities for the department.<\/p>
In February, DCMS instructed Arts Council England (ACE) to enable a £75 million boost to culture and creativity outside of London between 2022 and 2025. As part of this funding, DCMS and ACE have identified 109 Levelling Up for Culture Places where additional investment will be focused. This support will galvanise the potential of the people in these areas that have previously not had sufficient attention and investment. The aim is to generate more opportunities for people across the whole country, and provide better access to cultural activities.<\/p>
As outlined in Arts Council England\u2019s Let\u2019s Create strategy, all UK Arts Councils alongside the British Film Institute are currently working on a UK wide access scheme for disabled, d/Deaf, neurodivergent people or those that have other access needs. We want this scheme to work alongside existing infrastructure to find a way of best serving audiences and the sector. As part of the very early stages of this process, Arts Council England are inviting people who have access needs when attending arts events to take part in focus groups.<\/p>

The creative industries contributed approximately £116bn to the UK economy in 2019. The Government has recognised the sector as one of the key sectors to drive growth across the country in the Chancellor\u2019s Plan for Growth.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> We are actively supporting the creative industries through a range of initiatives such as:<\/p> £4m towards the Creative Scale-Up programme which seeks to help creative businesses expand their operations.<\/p><\/li><\/ul> £39m towards the Creative Clusters programme through UKRI which connects businesses and academia to take advantage of the most recent research and innovations so they can grow.<\/p><\/li> £33m towards the Audience of the Future which encouraged creative businesses to use innovative new technologies to reach new audiences.<\/p><\/li> £20m towards the first round of the Cultural Development Fund to support business growth and productivity through investment in cultural and creative infrastructure via five projects in places like Wakefield and Worcester, in addition to a further £18.5m for a second round as part of the landmark Cultural Investment Fund, launched in May 2021.<\/p><\/li> HMG committed over £2m to the Creative Careers Programme which aims to address aspirational and informational barriers to entry amongst young people and their carers. To date over 115,000 young people have engaged with the programme at over 1500 schools in England and Wales.<\/p><\/li> Continuing to work with industry through the Creative Industries Trade and Investment Board to increase exports in the creative industries.<\/p><\/li> The Government supports trade promotion in the CIs through DIT\u2019s export hubs, the Internationalisation Fund, the Export Academy. All this support will feature in the Creative Industries Export Campaign which will encourage both new exporters and companies wanting to look at new export markets to take advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to the UK as an independent trading nation.<\/p><\/li> The Government is also looking carefully at options for an Export Office.<\/p><\/li><\/ul> <\/p>"}
