Supplementary notes

*The region is based on the postcode of application. Note that in some cases this may not align with where the organization benefiting from the funding is based, or the funding may be spread across organizations in multiple geographical locations. This is the case with Wales and Scotland, as the data only shows funding to English (England) organizations.

The data shows the amount awarded from the UK government's Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) by Arts Council England to organizations including music venues, theatres, museums, arts, and other cultural organizations (does not include heritage sites).
