The Levelling Up Our Communities report is an independent piece of work requested by the Prime Minister of my hon. Friend, the Member for Devizes (Danny Kruger). DCMS will be considering all of the recommendations mentioned in the report and an update on the government’s work will be provided in due course.

Philanthropy is at the heart of the voluntary and community sector’s funding mix, and the British people continue to give generously to support the sector’s important work. The government is keen to continue supporting the growth of philanthropy, and is looking at a range of options for future work.
