(Photo: Geograph/PA) EARLIER TODAY (3 March), Rishi Sunak the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the 2021 Budget. As part of his announcement, he revealed that a total of £700m will go on supporting arts, culture and sports as they reopen. This is a £300m boost for the Culture Recovery fund already in place. Together with @OliverDowden we’re extending the Culture Recovery Fund and supporting our arts, culture and sporting institutions as they reopen. We re introducing a new approach to apprenticeships in the creative industries, and extending the TV restart scheme. #HereForCulturepic.twitter.com/cOYEeIlhBX Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) March 3, 2021
