In 2019, the Arts Council and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) supported the creation of 20 Cultural Compacts.

These Compacts are partnerships designed to support the local cultural sector and enhance its contribution to development, with a special emphasis on cross-sector engagement beyond the cultural sector itself and the local authority. The Compacts model was included in the recommendations of the UK Cultural Cities Enquiry, an independent enquiry into the cultural resources of Britain’s cities.

In February 2020 we commissioned BOP Consulting to conduct a review of the Compacts programme. The purpose of the review was to review progress so far and to explore to which extent the model works.
