Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, for what reason the bid for a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund from MSP, Bridle Way, Liverpool, was rejected.
We are confident the independent delivery bodies will have scrutinised all organisations against the strict criteria set for this fund, but cannot comment on the detail of individual applications.
We know that some applicants will be disappointed with the outcome and both the Arts Council and DCMS will continue to do all we can to support creativity and culture in England. Arts Council have published resources on their website both for organisations and individuals which include alternative sources of support.
