Art and cultural projects in Merseyside have been boosted by more than £2
million in additional funding - with The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic among the
biggest winners.

Arts Council England (ACE) has announced annual grants totalling £49.8m to 990
organisations across the nation to enable people to find art and culture on their
own doorsteps. In Merseyside that means 27 organisations will receive a total of
£11.2m in annual funding between 2023 and 2026 - an increase of £2.1m from
the annual award that was made between 2018 and 2022.

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic has been awarded the biggest grant in
Merseyside, of nearly £2.5m, up from £2.3m between 2018 and 2022. That is
followed by Liverpool and Merseyside Theatres Trust (£1.7m) and

then FACT Liverpool, the cinema and art gallery that regularly shows art-house
films.

The Liverpool Philharmonic told the ECHO the funding allowed the venue to
tranform lives. Michael Eakin, Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic, said:
"Liverpool Philharmonic is very grateful to Arts Council England for the funding
awarded to the organisation as part of the 2023-26 Investment Programme.

"We are pleased that this includes standstill funding for our core work, as well as

an additional £200,000 per year for new work in Levelling Up for Culture Places.

"The funding enables Liverpool Philharmonic to continue its mission to enhance
and transform lives through the work of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra, our broad and diverse concert programme, and an extensive learning
programme, including Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Company.

"We are proud to be a key organisation in the world class cultural sector
supported by Arts Council England, and to play our full part in broadening the
diversity, reach and impact of the arts right across this country."
