- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much funding has been provided to Telford constituency in each of the last 6 financial years by a) her department b) the Arts Council.
- Answer
-
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and its Arms Length Bodies record Exchequer funded grants data on the Government Grant Information System. The Government Grant Information System does not record grants by constituency or local authority level, however we have conducted a search based on postcodes and have identified the attached list of grants awarded to organisations within Telford since 2020 when central recording commenced. Information on grant giving can also be found at 360Giving (https://www.360giving.org/).
There will be instances where a grant has been given to an organisation with a postcode based outside of Telford but where the grant recipient will have spent some or all the grant within projects that included Telford. This analysis is not included as this information is not recorded on the Government Grant Information System.
Please note, information where a grant has been made to a voluntary sector organisation and that organisation has made onward grants in its own right is not included.
Funding provided by Arts Council England (ACE) to projects and organisations in the Telford constituency over the same period, is set out in the table.
