Nigel Huddleston MP has voiced his support of the launch of the fourth round of the Government's arts and culture fund.

Cultural venues across England are being encouraged to apply for up to £5 million from the £15.2 million Cultural Development Fund.

The fund, which aims to improve access to arts and culture across England, has so far benefitted 20 projects with a combined total of £76.8 million since 2019.

Mid Worcestershire MP Mr Huddleston said: "The launch of the fourth round of the Cultural Development Fund is a great opportunity for cultural venues in Mid Worcestershire to gain funding, with the effects of any successful bid being felt by those across the constituency.

"I encourage any eligible businesses to consider applying for the fund.”

Successful applications would not only potentially bolster community arts and culture but also drive economic growth and job creation in the area.

Projects would also deliver social benefits to the community.

Arts Council England, which administers the fund on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, has issued application guidance for candidates considering making an application.
