Ten year culture strategy

Bradford Council is set to approve a new ambitious and inventive 10-year co –produced Cultural Strategy for the district. ‘Culture is our Plan’ is a collaborative approach to creating a 10-year plan with a set of 10 ambitions, that is owned by and is reflective of the diverse communities and geographies of the district and the cultural sector and its potential for growth. It will help the Bradford District set priorities and make future choices to navigate and shape a journey of recovery, regeneration and clean growth across a decade. The plan recognises the high value people place on culture in their lives and sets out the opportunity that culture offers as a vital part of the Bradford district’s economic recovery and regeneration proposals for post Covid-19. A £1,435,000 investment by Bradford Council in cultural activities as part of the strategy has already attracted £3,560,000 in outside funding from organisations such as Arts Council England. The official launch is planned for late March.
