About the data

The research for Cultural Destinations Fund: Phase 2 drew upon live project data, consultation with project leads in combination with e-survey responses from local stakeholders of all projects and existing evidence. Please note that the Phase 2 report evaluation was conducted by SQW during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures, which did have an impact on achievement of longer-term and sustained outcomes of projects.
