A Stage for the Nation

The BBC’s unique role in UK arts and culture

The UK Government is reviewing the purposes and funding of the BBC. It’s vital that they consider the arts and culture, and the unique role that the BBC plays in the UK’s creative ecosystem.

This new report from the Campaign for the Arts shows why the BBC matters as a cultural organisation – to artists, arts organisations, audiences, communities and the whole nation.

Want to see the BBC’s role in the arts protected and strengthened? Let ministers know by 10 March! It only takes a few minutes.
