Cultural Compacts are strategic place-based initiatives supported by the Arts Council and DCMS. They aim to bring together key stakeholders to raise ambition and focus investment and resources on a shared vision that aligns with the needs of local communities. Compacts range in scale from parish councils to combined authorities and their boards comprise local leaders in sectors such as arts, local government, higher education, NHS, business. This report summarises the origins of Compacts, their current state, opportunities & challenges, and proposes recommendations to support the future development of Compacts.
