Britain has a rich and varied cultural offering: it is known internationally for outstanding arts and heritage attractions, from world class museums, galleries and theatres, to heritage sites and attractions which are the focal point of local communities. Our national treasures range from old masters and West End shows, to contemporary dance and cutting-edge festivals. In the last Parliament, our predecessors considered the work of the Arts Council England, and concluded that there had been an arts funding imbalance in favour of London at the expense of tax payers and lottery players in other parts of the country. We wanted to follow up on this inquiry to examine how the culture sector throughout the country is coping with the current difficult economic situation. We also wanted to see how the sector was responding to these challenges, to showcase the organisations, projects and communities that were surviving and indeed thriving in this challenging climate, and make recommendations to Government on how best to support and preserve our national treasures. 2. The variety and quality of cultural life in the UK has been celebrated in the recent Culture White Paper (Cm 9218), produced by the previous Minister for Culture, Ed Vaizey MP. We welcome the publication of this strategy and the recent assurances from the new Minister for Culture, Matt Hancock MP, that he supports the aims of the White Paper and will continue putting its recommendations into practice.1 3. As part of our inquiry we have held six evidence sessions, we received over 100 submissions, from arts organisations right across the country, and we also visited Glasgow, Staffordshire and Buxton to hear from local government, business, education and cultural representatives. We are grateful and wish to thank all those who contributed submissions and presented evidence to the Committee. 1 Q315 4 Countries of Culture: Funding and support for the arts outside London 1 How culture enriches and improves our lives 4. For this inquiry, we used a broad definition of culture, to include both arts and heritage; we wanted to be as inclusive as possible. Culture can mean different things to different people, and can be shaped by our national, regional or local perspective. It can also include a wide range of activities and interests. As the Creative Industries Federation noted in their submission, “for many communities, the closest cultural space is in heritage rather than the arts”.2 Culture, in whatever form it takes, allows us to connect with people and places, it can inspire and engage us. In the words of the new Secretary of State, Karen Bradley MP, culture makes us happy, and she described herself as leading the “Ministry of Happiness.”3 5. A huge proportion of the UK population engages with culture regularly in its various forms. The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has been measuring participation for a number of years through its ‘Taking Part’ survey. The latest statistics released by the Department show that 76% of adults had engaged with the arts at least once in the last 12 months, 73% had visited a heritage site and 53% had visited a museum or gallery.4 The Heritage Lottery Fund and the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) have also collaborated to produce a UK-wide heritage index, which shows the density of heritage assets and the level of community engagement with those assets. 5 6. Whilst it is fundamental to recognise the intrinsic value of culture, we also have a strong interest in its instrumental value. This inquiry sought to understand the role of culture in economic regeneration and cultural tourism. We wanted to highlight best practice where culture has been used to support other policy objectives, for example on education, health and well-being and criminal justice. Part of the purpose of this inquiry was to examine the impact of local government budget cuts on provision of culture at the local and regional level, and we were also interested in provision of culture without public funding, through new commercial practices and through people working together. 7. We took evidence on the value of culture in enhancing health and well-being. The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) stressed the value of participation in volunteering activity and being outside, in tackling and preventing mental health issues.6 2 (COC0091) Creative Industries Federation 3 Oral evidence to the CMS Committee on Responsibilities of the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on 23 October 2016, Q60 (transcript here) 4 Taking Part survey Q4 2015/16 (report here) 5 HLF and RSA index (https://www.thersa.org/action-and-research/rsa-projects/public-services-and-communities- folder/heritage-and-place) 6 HC 862 Q225 Countries of Culture: Funding and support for the arts outside London 5 Box 1: Case study: The House of Memories.7 The National Museums Liverpool have received funding from the Department of Health, Liverpool City Council and various trusts to run the award-winning House of Memories training programme. It targets carers and social care providers and helps them to deliver a positive quality of life experience for people living with dementia, by providing help with dementia care through unique cultural resources, like their ‘memory suitcases’ (this free loan service includes objects, photographs and memorabilia for carers to help engage those with dementia). The project has trained 10,000 carers across the UK and won both national and international prizes for improving dementia care.7 8. In evidence, the Chief Cultural and Leisure Officers Association (CCLOA) highlighted a project in Blackpool, called Fulfilling Lives, which has created a community cafe, to bring together people who have challenging lives and create pathways into other activities, which has resulted in a reduction in calls to the emergency services and other public services, representing significant savings for the public purse.8 We also received evidence which had evaluated the impact of cultural activities on health policy outcomes9. Box 2: Case study: Art Lift in Gloucestershire.10 Art Lift is a free service provide by Gloucestershire County Council and sponsored by Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust (PCT). Through GP referrals NHS patients can work with professional painters, singers, artists and other crafts people, helping to improve health and emotional well-being. An initial service impact assessment indicates a 27% decrease in medical consultations, sustained beyond a period of six months.10 9. Culture can also play a key role in economic regeneration.11 The success of Liverpool as European Capital of Culture in 2008 was well documented. The DCMS-run UK City of Culture programme seeks to build on that. It aims to use culture as a catalyst for change and to create a lasting legacy for the area. In 2009, following a competitive selection process, Derry-Londonderry was selected as the first UK City of Culture and held the title in 2013. Box 3: Case study: Derry/Londonderry as UK’s City of Culture in 2013.12 The evaluation of the Derry/Londonderry City of Culture programme found that the £20 million investment from the city had produced a £100 million return, generating over a million visits, 41% from outside the city, a 61% increase in overnight stays and an accompanying 76% increase in visitor expenditure.

  • Southampton UK City of Culture Bid Joint Committee 10 February
    Item 12 Report to the Partnership for South Hampshire Joint Committee Date: 10 February 2020 Report of: Sandy Hopkins, Chief Executive - Southampton City Council Carolyn Abel, Head of Culture - Southampton City Council Subject: SOUTHAMPTON BID FOR UK CITY OF CULTURE DESIGNATION 2025 SUMMARY Joint Committee will receive a verbal presentation outlining work around UK City of Culture 2025. Established in 2013, UK City of Culture is a national designation awarded every four years to a city for one year. Administered by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, it builds on the success of Liverpool as European City of Culture in 2008 which brought significant economic and social benefits to the area. The aim of the initiative is to deliver a step change and transformation in the winning city’s strategic ambitions through multi-stakeholder collaboration. At Southampton City Council’s Annual General Meeting on 15 May 2019, a joint motion pledged to work together with stakeholders to bid for UK City of Culture in 2025 on behalf of our all communities to realise the economic and social potential of our places, and to encourage their involvement in shaping our villages, towns, cities and the region as a whole. The national evidence shows that when Culture in its broadest sense is truly part of the mix it contributes to delivering sustainable economic, social, health and wellbeing outcomes. These include: boosting civic pride, identity and community cohesion; supporting social, health and wellbeing benefits; attracting significant inward investment; creating new jobs, skills and learning opportunities; boosting the visitor and wider economy; developing the creative industries and artistic talent; and in the long term, better alignment of resources and partnership working to benefit residents, visitors and businesses.

    Belfast City Council Report to: Strategic Policy and Resources Committee Subject: Derry/Londonderry City of Culture 2013 – Support from Belfast City for the Derry City Council Bid Date: 23 April 2010 Reporting Officer: John McGrillen, Director of Development ext. 3470 Contact Officer: John McGrillen, Director of Development ext. 3470 Relevant Background Information In July 2009, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport launched a national competition to find the UK’s first City of Culture. The winning city will become the focus for national attention in 2013 and could become the focus of high profile media events, such as the Turner prize, Sports Personality of the Year and the RIBA Stirling Prize, as part of their year in the spotlight. The successful host city will be provided with the title of UK City of Culture for 2013, with scope to tailor the UK City of Culture brand to meet the needs of that city. On 24th February, 2010 the Culture Minister, Margaret Hodge, announced that 4 cities had been short-listed from the 14 bidders; they are Birmingham, Derry/Londonderry, Norwich and Sheffield. The deadline for full and final bid documentation from the short-listed cities is the end of May. During the summer, the advisory panel tasked with selecting the winning bid will receive presentations from the short-listed cities and will make their final recommendation to the Secretary of State by the end of the summer.

  • City of Culture Purple
    POLICY BRIEFING UK City of Culture programme - history and update as Hull wins the 2017 title Author: Marion Catlin LGiU associate Date: 27 November 2013 Summary • This briefing covers the result of the UK City of Culture competition including background to the competition and essential information about likely impact and legacy both of winning and of losing the competition. • In 2002-3, the department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) ran a competition to choose a city as the UK representative in the European Capital of Culture year that was designated to a UK city in 2008. • It was decided, (following a suggestion by Secretary of State for Culture Andy Burnham and Phil Redmond), to set up a UK-wide version of the City of Culture title, given that it will not be until 2023 that another UK city will be able to become European Capital of Culture because of the number of new and accession states joining the European Union. • The UK City of Culture competition was inaugurated in 2010 and Derry/ Londonderry was chosen, from a shortlist of four cities (Norwich, Birmingham and Sheffield as well as Derry/Londonderry) for the (current) 2013 year. The competition runs every three years and therefore the next UK City of Culture year is 2017. Hull has just been announced as the winner for 2017. • This briefing will be of interest to councillors and officers leading on the arts and tourism and the economic impact of the arts and to partner arts organisations. Briefing in full The roots of the UK City of Culture competition are to be found in the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) programme (originally European City of Culture) which has © Local Government Information Unit, www.lgiu.org.uk, Third Floor, 251 Pentonville Road, London N1 9NG.

This report was the result of an extensive collaboration that brought together the Core Cities, Key Cities, London councils, the Arts Councils from across the UK, and leaders from the cultural, education, design, development, hospitality and technology sectors, to examine the impact of culture in our civic life and economy. The Enquiry, led by Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia, set out to provide a set of practical recommendations that would enable cities to improve their ability to harness the transformative potential of culture to drive inclusive growth through leadership, Photo credit: © Hugo Glendinning investment, talent, and place.
