Making Music was delighted to be a part of the advisory group of the Commission on Culture and Local Government in England, chaired by Baroness Lola Young
Its purpose is to bring national, regional and local actors in the publicly funded cultural realm together to explore and communicate the role of council supported culture, including its contribution to economic growth, levelling up and addressing regional inequalities, and articulating a future vision in the context of place.
Making Music has submitted a response on the four themes which are the focus of the Commission – a sustainable and inclusive economic (post-Covid) recovery; health inequalities; social mobility through cultural education and creative skills; and place. These are challenges to which leisure-time music groups, with realistically achievable input from councils, can make a strong contribution.
