The three-month consultation on our future strategy for distributing funds from the National Lottery is now open. This consultation will shape our strategy for the coming five years, so we need your help.
"This consultation is very important for the Council. Since 1995 we’ve have been acting as a Lottery Funds Distributor and during the past 23 years have funded 13,502 projects across Wales and distributed £287m of Lottery funds,” said Kath Davies, our Director of Investment and Funding Services.
“Arts Council of Wales has used Lottery funds to support artists and organisations to undertake new and exciting work across Wales and have helped create a network of notable buildings across the nation.
"But nothing stands still, so today we’re beginning one of our most ambitious consultations ever, and we’re inviting everyone in Wales to contribute to it.”
