Between 2011 and 2015, we will invest £1.4 billion of public money from government and an estimated £1 billion from the National Lottery. Government funding is received from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and requirements are laid out in our funding agreement with them.

This includes where our money will be spent in the period 2012-15, information on specific funding programmes and how we will target particular challenges, opportunities or gaps for the delivery of our priorities through strategic funding.
