To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport which organisations in the North West have been notified by Arts Council England of withdrawal of funding; what amounts are involved in each case; and what transitional arrangements are to be put in place in each case.
holding answer
The Arts Council operates at arm's length from the Government and decisions about which arts organisations to fund are entirely for them.
Organisations which have been notified of the Arts Council decision to withdraw funding are as follows:
Organisation | Amount |
Centre for Arts Development Training (CADT) | 14,000 |
Southport Arts Centre | 23,900 |
New Works (Liverpool Lunchtime Theatre) | 28,700 |
Cartwheel Arts Ltd. | 50,500 |
Business In The Arts:North West | 62,700 |
The Entertainment and arts marketers (Mersey) | 68,600 |
Citadel | 78,900 |
Rejects Revenge Theatre Company | 90,500 |
Chester Gateway Theatre | 135,000 |
Doo Cot Theatre | 173,100 |
Lip Service Theatre Company | 39,200 |
South Lakeland DC | 8,900 |
Copeland BC | 23,100 |
Allerdale BC | 25,400 |
Barrow In Furness BC | 41,700 |
Cumbria CC | 41,900 |
Carlisle CC | 71,700 |
I understand that no formal arrangements for transitional funding have yet been put in place and that discussions are ongoing with the organisations concerned.
