Public investment in the arts benefits the public. As the Chancellor reviews spending plans for the rest of this decade, @_CFTA is making that case by uniting and expressing support from every constituency in the UK. (1/2) https://t.co/JLk7fSDQD7

The Chancellor is reviewing all public spending from scratch. The arts make our lives happier and our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them.
If the government wants national renewal, they should invest in the arts and culture 🎤 Today, we're launching a petition to remind Rachel Reeves: the arts make our lives happier and our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them 🌱 https://t.co/iFrFFi0Pjt 🧶👇
