🗣️ This week, our Director gave evidence in Parliament on the future of the BBC. 🫟 As the UK’s largest cultural organisation, the BBC’s unique role in UK arts and culture MUST be central to the Charter Renewal debate.

Our BBC consultation tool was used 8,478 times ⚙️ Every one of those responses will now be read and analysed by the government as it shapes the BBC's future funding and public purposes. Thank you for showing up for the BBC's unique role in UK arts and culture 💜

We’re entering the final hours of the government’s consultation on the future of the BBC (deadline = 23:59). Far more than just a broadcaster, the BBC is a cultural organisation with a unique role in our creative ecology and shared national life. (1/3) www.campaignforthearts.org/reports/a-st...

Initial @campaignforthearts.org analysis suggests the #ScottishBudget is even better for arts and culture than the Government comms suggest. They are heralding a £34 million increase, but Arts spending will rise by £43m next year and the overall culture budget by £42m, according to Budget docs.

Campaign for the Arts@campaignforthearts.org · 2y ago

The overall culture budget will increase by £42 million (14%) next year. There will be an extra: 💸 £27m for Creative Scotland to fund arts organisations 🖼️ £13m for the National Collections 🎥 £2m for Screen Scotland 🎭 £1m for the National Performing Companies

We're excited to start using @bsky.app! The Campaign for the Arts believes that the arts make life better, and everyone should have opportunities to experience and take part in them. Do you feel the same? Follow us now!
